AgustaWestland AW101 – History and Applications

The AW101, formerly known as the EH101, is a helicopter jointly developed by the Italian company Agusta and the British firm Westland (now Leonardo Helicopters). It entered service in the early 1990s and is operated by the armed forces of several countries: the United Kingdom, Italy, Canada, Denmark, Portugal, and Norway. It is used not only for military missions—such as troop transport, maritime search and rescue (SAR), anti-submarine warfare, or medical evacuation—but also in VIP roles and for the protection of important individuals.

This model also gained popularity thanks to its appearance in the film “Skyfall” from the James Bond series, where the AW101 played a key role in the action, making the Italeri 1332 kit a unique item not only for modelers but also for film fans.
