Eduard SS287 EH-101 1/72 ITALERI – Photo-etched Detail Set for the EH-101 Merlin Helicopter Model

The Eduard SS287 EH-101 set is intended to enhance the 1:72 scale EH-101 Merlin helicopter model offered by Italeri. This set is designed for modelers who expect the highest quality details and realism, including the finest elements of the helicopter’s cockpit and cabin. The EH-101 is a modern multirole helicopter developed by the British and Italian consortium Westland-Agusta (now Leonardo), operated since the 1990s to the present by countries such as the United Kingdom, Italy, Canada, and Portugal. Merlin variants are used for rescue, transport, and combat operations, as well as anti-submarine warfare by the navy. Real-world examples include Royal Navy operations during missions in Iraq or Canadian search-and-rescue support in polar conditions.
