H - 13C “Sioux” - the American light helicopter

The Bell 47 was the first helicopter to be produced for civilian service. As of March 8, 1946, “Bell Helicopters Textron” began manufacturing these helicopters as soon as it was licensed. Between 1946 and 1974, more than 5,600 of these machines were produced, of which 1,200 were manufactured under license in Italy, 239 in Japan, and 239 in Great Britain. These helicopters were also in the U.S. Army, where they were marked H-13 “Sioux”. Used mainly for intelligence and training purposes, involved in the Korean War.

A small, intricate model of an interestingly constructed helicopter. True, it is not so difficult, that an advanced beginner cannot assemble them, but working under the supervision of a more experienced colleague. And it shouldn’t be one of the first more sophisticated models.
