Build your static model fleet with the 1/48 Scale Bell OH-58D Kiowa Plastic Model Kit. The Bell OH-58 Kiowa is not only one of the most famous helicopters in history but was also characterized by extraordinary longevity and flexibility.

The OH-58 has been in use by the U.S. Army with several versions since 1969. Derived directly from 206 Jet Ranger model, the OH-58 Kiowa was used to perform reconnaissance, observation and advanced tactical support duties. OH-58D series was the result of several developments such as the adoption of a more powerful engine, the introduction of the 4-blade rotor, and the use of MMS above it.

The latest version, the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior, is primarily operated in an armed reconnaissance role in support of ground troops thanks to the adoption of 2 side pylons capable of carrying different combinations of weapons such as AGM-114 Hellfire missiles, Hydra rockets or air-to-air Stinger missiles.

The Kiowa Warrior was used, by U.S. Army, during Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan.
