Academy #12249 1/48 Police Helicopter 500D
One of the most nimble helicopters in service today is the Hughes Model 500. This machine is a development of the U.S. Army's OH-6A Cayuse which proved so valuable as an observation and attack helicopter in the Vietnam war. The Model 500 is modified with a T type tail and a five-blade rotor for more quiet operation. The spritely defender can be adapted to handle almost any task.
