About product

Boeing CH-47A Chinook (1:72, Trumpeter)

Injection-molded plastic kit of the American Boeing (Vertol) CH-47A Chinook heavy transport helicopter in 1:72 scale from Trumpeter. The kit is molded in gray plastic with finely engraved panel lines and offers clear parts for the one-piece cockpit canopy and the windows. The model has several practical features: the crew entry door can be built open or closed, and so can the rear cargo ramp. The rotor blades are rendered drooped, as they look at rest on the ground.

The real subject

The Boeing CH-47 Chinook is a heavy transport helicopter with a characteristic tandem layout — two large rotors, one forward and one aft, turning in opposite directions, which do away with the need for a tail rotor. The CH-47A version is an early production variant. The Chinook loads cargo through the rear ramp and the side doors and carries heavy loads on three cargo hooks underneath. It still serves today to move troops, vehicles and supplies.

Building and painting tips

Decide in advance whether you will leave the ramp and the doors open — if so, finish and paint the cargo compartment. Use thin cement on the plastic, mask the glazing and glue it with cement for clear parts. Apply a primer before painting; fit the drooped blades of the tandem rotors symmetrically at the front and the rear. Pick out the panel lines with a wash, and dust pigments suit the underside of the fuselage for an in-service look.

Who the model is for

  • For collectors of American transport aircraft in 1:72 scale
  • For lovers of tandem-rotor helicopters
  • For builders who want to make use of the open ramp and the cargo compartment
  • For intermediate modelers

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It has a tandem layout — two rotors, one forward and one aft, turn in opposite directions and cancel each other's torque, so a tail rotor is not needed.

Yes. Both the rear cargo ramp and the crew entry door can be built open or closed. For the open version it pays to finish and paint the cargo compartment.

That is how the real blades look at rest on the ground with the engines stopped. Trumpeter rendered them this way for a realistic look of a parked machine.
