About The AH.1/AB-47 Sioux

The version reproduced in this kit represents units produced under licence in Great Britain and Italy. In those services, the Sioux remained in use well into the 1960s for training, having originally served in reconnaissance and ambulance roles. This historical context makes the AH.1/AB-47 an iconic rotary-wing subject for enthusiasts of early Cold War aviation.

Part number HC-095 from Italeri offers a focused representation of the British and Italian licence-built variants of the H-13 Sioux, providing a classic helicopter subject for modellers interested in training, reconnaissance and utility aircraft of the era.
