One of the most nimble helicopters in service today is the Hughes Model 500. This machine is a development of the U.S. Army's OH-6A Cayuse which proved so valuable as an observation and attack helicopter in the Vietnam war. The Model 500 is modified with a T-type tail and a five-blade rotor for more quiet operation. The spritely defender can carry nearly all military equipment designed for helicopters.

• Plastic pieces attached to sprues and molded in tan and grey.
• The surface of the helicopter is decorated with fully engraved panel lines and rivet detail.
• Highly detailed cockpit interior includes gauges and controls.
• Two life-like pilot figurines are included.
• Rotor assembly delivers heartily in the realism department.
• Helicopter cockpit is covered with clear plastic that allows close inspection of the interior.
• A unique mast-mounted sight sits atop the helicopter.
• A very faithfully modeled TOW missile pod attaches to each side of the small craft.
• Detailed pictorial instructions guide you through assembly.
