Military Helicopter Model Kits

Small and Large Model Helicopter Kits

Military helicopter model kits come in a wide variety of sizes, and choosing between a smaller or larger model helicopter purely depends on your preference for display space, level of detail, and assembly complexity - and we have many different options on offer. 

If you’re looking for a compact yet detailed model, the UH-60 Black Hawk (1:72 scale, 21 cm long) is a great option. Despite its small size, it captures the essence of the Black Hawk, a versatile U.S. Army utility helicopter known for its role in air assault and medical evacuation missions. 

On the other hand, some helicopters demand a larger scale to fully showcase their impressive structure. The Boeing Chinook HC.1 (1:72 scale, 42 cm long, 25 cm wide) is one such example. Even at the same scale as the Black Hawk, the Chinook’s tandem-rotor design and sheer size make it an imposing model. With its long service history and ability to operate in extreme environments, the Chinook remains one of the most recognisable heavy-lift helicopters in the world.

For those who appreciate even bigger and more unique designs, the CH-54A is an excellent choice. Used in Vietnam for heavy transport and even bomb deployment, this helicopter's skeletal design and external load capability make it stand out among military helicopter model kits. Larger-scale kits like this allow modellers to truly appreciate the engineering behind these incredible machines.

Transport, Search & Rescue, and Utility Helicopter Model Kits

You can also choose your ideal military helicopter model kit based on primary use. We have a wide selection here, too. For those interested in transport and logistics helicopters, the Boeing CH-46 Sea Knight is an excellent choice. This twin-turbine, tandem-rotor helicopter has been a reliable workhorse for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps since the 1960s.

Designed for combat logistics, vertical replenishment, and special operations, the Sea Knight is known for its agility and ability to perform in challenging conditions. Over decades of service, it has transported millions of tons of cargo and thousands of passengers, proving its effectiveness in both military and humanitarian missions. 

For search and rescue enthusiasts and those who value European design, the Sea King and Sea Rescue Cruiser model set is a standout. The German Navy’s Sea King helicopters and the DGzRS sea rescue cruisers have played a vital role in missions across the North and Baltic Seas. This set includes both a rescue cruiser and a Sea King model helicopter, making it an exciting build for anyone interested in maritime rescue operations.

Combat Model Helicopters

Combat helicopter enthusiasts won’t be disappointed either. For those drawn to the Vietnam War era, the Bell AH-1G Cobra is an iconic attack helicopter. Developed in the 1960s as the U.S. Army’s first dedicated gunship, the Cobra featured a sleek, narrow fuselage, tandem seating, and a powerful rotary cannon. It was built for close air support and played a crucial role in the Vietnam War, where it provided cover for ground forces and escorted transport helicopters.

With its lightweight armour and reinforced tail boom, the AH-1G set the standard for future attack helicopters and our military helicopter model kit has all the details to bring the Cobra to life. For a more modern option, the Eurocopter Tiger is a top-tier choice.

This advanced multi-role battlefield helicopter, developed jointly by France and Germany, features high maneuverability, composite armour, and cutting-edge avionics. Designed for anti-tank and escort missions, the Tiger’s versatility and firepower make it one of the most formidable attack helicopters in service today. With a part count of 226, this model kit offers an exceptional building experience.
