Italeri 1/48 H-21C Flying Banana Helicopter Kit

The H-21 Shawnee, nicknamed the "Flying Banana" for its curved fuselage, is a notable rotary-wing type from the 1950s. Its tandem rotor layout supported heavy-lift and transport roles for the U.S. Army, including logistical missions during the Vietnam conflict.

Italeri's H-21C gunship kit recreates the armed version with nose-mounted cannon options for ground support duties. The box contains new plastic parts, a super decal sheet for five variants, photo-etched detail parts, and colour instruction sheets to guide assembly and finishing.
