About product

Bell OH-13 Sioux in 1:48 scale (Italeri)

This kit from Italeri in 1:48 scale captures the American Bell OH-13 Sioux light helicopter. It is an injection-molded plastic model with the characteristic bubble-shaped glazing and an open-framework rear end with a tail boom. The exact contents of the package and the marking options are given in the instructions. Some batches of this kit come without a crew.

The real subject

The OH-13 Sioux was an American light observation and liaison helicopter with a piston engine and a two-blade main rotor. It became famous for its characteristic bubble-shaped glazed cabin and for its use during the Korean War, where it also served to evacuate the wounded on external litters. Later it carried out observation and training duties, and it was also built under license in Europe.

Building and painting tips

The most sensitive part is the bubble glazing: fit it dry first, glue it carefully with a cement that leaves no fogging, and mask it before painting. Finish the interior beforehand, because it is clearly visible through the glazing. Clean up the fine open framework of the rear end and the rotor with feeling, as the parts tend to be slender. Apply the paints with an airbrush and polish the metal areas.

Who the model is for

  • For collectors of helicopters and Korean War subjects.
  • For modelers who appreciate working with large glazing.
  • For lovers of classic observation machines.
  • For builders in 1:48 scale.

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
