  The Iranian Army and Air Force received huge quantities of modern weapons in the 1970s. Among those received were up to 120 Boeing-Elicoterri CH-47Cs. The model depicts a IRIAF CH-47C wearing its original gray-green camouflage.

  I used part of Trumpeter's test shot (see my review article at  http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/Rev2/1001-1100/Rev1033_Trumpeter-CH47_Ibara/rev1033.htm) and kit bashed it with a a CH-47A kit. This saved me a lot of money as the only way to get a CH-47 is to combine parts from a CH-47A kit and a CH-47D kit. I also scracthbuilt some details, particularly the large diameter wheel peculiar with late model CH-47s. I also detailed the rear bulkhead with wire, sprue and scrap plastic. 

  Iranian Decals were printed on my printer.

  I hope you like it. A full article on converting the CH-47A to a CH-47C appears at our club's website at www.ipmsphilippines.com.
