Italeri 1421 1/72 UCAS X-47B - Detailed scale of a carrier-capable unmanned demonstrator

The Northrop Grumman X-47B demonstrated how unmanned platforms can operate from carriers. Italeri's 1/72 rendition captures key design traits of the demonstrator, offering a compact but accurate model for display or study.

Program Highlights and Deck Trials

First flown in 2011, the X-47B completed pioneering tests aboard the USS George H.W. Bush (CVN-77), validating concepts like autonomous deck handling and integration with carrier operations. The kit mirrors these historic features for model reference.

Assembly Qualities and Collector Appeal

This Italeri kit focuses on realistic carrier adaptations such as folding wings and visible undercarriage detail. The parts layout supports careful assembly, yielding a model that enhances collections centered on modern naval aviation.
