Known as "Guns-A-Go-Go", four special, heavily armed ACH-47A's (Attack Cargo Helicopter) served in Vietnam. The CH-47 has a big payload capacity, enough to reconfigure with an extensive assortment of weaponry to create a formidable gunship.

Italeri’s superb reproduction of this fearsome air weapon is a showcase of molding accuracy. From finely engraved recessed panel lines to the thin chord rotors common to the early production “A” series, it will command attention in any modelers display. The crew access door and rear cargo ramp can be open to expose complete cabin structural ribbing. Italeri's 1/48 scale kit includes comprehensive markings for these famous gunships. And, it's armed to the teeth with lethal weaponry, including five .50 cal machine guns on flexible mounts, ammo box racks, interior ammo magazines and even expended shell bags. There’s also a 40mm grenade launcher for mounting on the nose, 2.75 inch FFAR 19 shot rocket pods and twin 20mm pylon- mounted cannons. Italeri’s ACH-47A Chinook is truly an exquisite reproduction by master artisans from “The Culture of Modeling”.
