CH-46D Sea Knight is a twin-rotor, medium transport helicopter designed by Boeing Vertol. It is an upgraded version of the earlier CH-46A, intended primarily for the United States Marine Corps (USMC) and the US Navy. The first flight of the CH-46D took place in the 1960s, and the helicopter played a pivotal role during the Vietnam War as a transport, rescue, and logistical support aircraft. It remained in continuous use up until the mid-2010s, also participating in operations in the Persian Gulf, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

The Hobby Boss 87213 kit reproduces the most important features of this machine: panel line layout, characteristic shape of the fuselage and landing gear, pilot cabin with large windows, and tandem twin-rotor system. The high level of detail will satisfy intermediate and advanced military modelers, as well as collectors of Cold War and modern aviation.

Difficulty level: 3/5 – the model is recommended for those with basic and intermediate experience in plastic modeling. Due to the kit’s precision and small parts, we recommend using modeling tools.

We recommend Hobby Boss 87213 CH-46D Seaknight to all military aviation enthusiasts, collectors, and anyone looking to complete a diorama or collection with an exceptional USMC helicopter with a rich service history. Highly rated for the fit of its parts and attractive decals – an excellent gift idea for military history lovers.
