ICM AH-6J Little Bird U.S. Special Forces Attack Helicopter - 1:48 Model Kit

Build a highly detailed replica of one of the most iconic special operations helicopters ever deployed with the ICM AH-6J Little Bird U.S. Special Forces Attack Helicopter model kit. This 1:48 scale plastic model kit recreates the compact yet formidable attack helicopter used by the elite 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne), better known as the legendary "Night Stalkers".

Nicknamed the "Killer Egg" due to its distinctive shape, the AH-6J Little Bird was developed from the civilian MD 530F and adapted for military special operations missions. Its compact size, exceptional manoeuvrability and ability to operate in confined spaces made it ideal for supporting special forces missions in challenging environments.

This detailed model accurately captures the helicopter's unique airframe and includes a range of authentic weapon configurations. Builders can choose from different machine gun options, including the M134 Minigun and GAU-19 multi-barrel machine gun, alongside rocket pod armaments. Optional antenna configurations allow further customisation, while the included decal sheet provides authentic markings for helicopters operated by the 160th SOAR during the 1990s, including aircraft deployed in Somalia. With highly detailed sprues and excellent accuracy throughout, this kit is an ideal addition for military aviation enthusiasts, helicopter modellers and modern military collections.
