| The CH-46 has been the work horse of
the US Navy and Marines for many years now. These rugged helicopters can
deliver troops ashore or supplies to ships. Yet these birds have been curiously
lacking in many modern US Navy ship kits. Well now JAG has a set to populate
the decks of your carriers and amphibs. You can also land these birds on
those frigates and destroyers. These are much more appropriate than the
Army CH-47's found in many of the Modern Ship kits. |

| There are two resin cast helo's in each set. Landing gear
are also cast in resin, and are pretty thin, so be careful with them. The
overall shape appears to be very much like the CH-46's and closely matches
a 1/72 scale version that I have. The windows and doors are pretty well
represented. But you may want to drill them out for effect. |

 This
is set #JAG-601 and retails for $8.00. That's a fair price for a couple
of nicely detailed birds with PE. You can find these at your favorite hobby
store or click the logo to buy them direct from JAG.
