Not suitable for young children. Contains small parts. Review: Very good model - I bought this as a retirement gift for a colleague that was once is the RAF and worked in this exact model when he was a younger man. He loved it and it brought back a lot of good memories. Review: Great kit - Purchased kit as a build for wife's time down the Falklands - the "Wokka" is her favourite helicopter. The kit is 1/48 scale, with great detail and clean mouldings. The build has been mentioned on various forums/groups as "a challenge", but will go together well, if plenty of preparation. Engines and interior are well detailed, with potential for "super detailing" with aftermarket parts. Decals are clean/sharp and well printed. I would advise purchasing a "canopy mask" for painting as the chinook has a lot of glass framing/detailing- this will give you clear and defined windows and top off your build. ## Features - Italeri 1:48 - RAF HC.1 Ch-47D Chinook - Detailed scale model kit fron Italeri - For collectors aged 14 years and over - This is not a toy ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B079TQD5LY | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Art Craft Kit Type | ART_CRAFT_KIT | | Best Sellers Rank | 57,826 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) 78 in Aircraft Model Building Kits | | Brand Name | Italeri | | Colour | Unpainted | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (258) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 08001283027793 | | Included Components | Kit | | Item Dimensions | 111 x 76.7 x 20.3 centimetres | | Item Type Name | Model kit | | Item Weight | 0.55 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Italeri | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Name | Chinook HC.2 CH-47F | | Number of Pieces | 2779 | | Paint Type | Unpainted | | Product Style | Traditional | | Product Warranty | 7 days | | Scale | 1:48 | | Seasons | All Seasons | | Size | 30.2 x 43.7 x 8 inches | | Special Features | large scale, includes decals | | Subject Character | Aircraft | | Theme | airplane | | UPC | 080012830277 | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** Adult - **Brand:** Italeri - **Colour:** Unpainted - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 111 x 76.7 x 20.3 centimetres - **Theme:** airplane ## Images ![Italeri ITA2779 Model kit, Unpainted - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/611vuFJhxGL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does it come with glue and paint?** A: No the paint and glue you have to purchase separately. **Q: is this the hc1 or hc2 as shown in the images?** A: Hi. It's a HC.2 . Italeri did a HC.1 catalogue ref 2662 **Q: Which one would i receive ch47-d or ch47-f** A: 47f as stated on the box **Q: Where can you buy the correct paint and glue for this model please? (excuse my ignorance, this is a gift and I have no idea about model kits)** A: The correct paint and glue are available here on Amazon or eBay though there are many types to choose from. Most model builders use Tamiya thin glue in a bottle and water-based paints such as Vallejo. Be aware most paints are now for use with an airbrush. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good model *by A***S on 5 April 2025* I bought this as a retirement gift for a colleague that was once is the RAF and worked in this exact model when he was a younger man. He loved it and it brought back a lot of good memories. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great kit *by A***N on 2 August 2020* Purchased kit as a build for wife's time down the Falklands - the "Wokka" is her favourite helicopter. The kit is 1/48 scale, with great detail and clean mouldings. The build has been mentioned on various forums/groups as "a challenge", but will go together well, if plenty of preparation.

Some cockpit details. *by D***N on 11 September 2024* Still in the process of building this. There's some detailing in the cockpit, but not much elsewhere. The mesh air filters for the engines are a nice touch. No figures or weapons. Update: now complete and I'm pretty happy with it. The fuselage went together well, with minimal clamping required. Lots of trial fitting is important. The fit of the cockpit glass was not great, a little bit of filler was required. Note that the colour scheme is my own - not included in the kit instructions. ## Frequently Bought Together - Italeri 2779 Chinook HC.1/Ch-47D, 1: 48 - Tamiya 87038 Extra Thin Cement Glue Fine Tip 40ml - Bell UH-1D Iroquois Model Kit --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/57424963-italeri-ita2779-model-kit-unpainted](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/57424963-italeri-ita2779-model-kit-unpainted) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
