Chinook HC.1 is the British version of the American Boeing CH-47 transport helicopter, used by the Royal Air Force since the 1980s. It has been widely deployed in military operations, humanitarian missions, and supply transport during conflicts such as the Falklands War, the Iraq intervention, and operations in Afghanistan.

The presented Eduard 672393 set includes a complete set of landing gear wheels—both main and nose—featuring faithfully replicated tread patterns, rim details, and the characteristic tire shapes specific to the HC.1 version. The components are made of fine-grained resin, allowing for crisp and realistic detailing, far surpassing factory-supplied plastic parts. The product also includes self-adhesive masks, which greatly facilitate precise painting of the tires and rims, ensuring a professional finish even for less experienced modelers.

This set is recommended for both advanced modelers and intermediate hobbyists looking for a way to enhance the realism of their replica. Assembly of the resin parts is straightforward, and thanks to the innovative masks, the difficulty level is rated at 2/5.

If you are striving to create the most faithful model of the RAF Chinook possible—Eduard 672393 is an accessory that is definitely worth recommending.
