[About MH-47G]
--According to the custom of naming helicopters after Native American races, the CH-47 Chinook helicopters are also named after the Chinookan tribes of the Pacific Northwest (now Washington and Oregon).
--Boeing acquired Bartle in 1960 and became the world's largest helicopter developer and manufacturer on its own.
--During the Boeing Bartle era, we focused on developing tandem rotor helicopters, and in 1961 CH-46 Sinai was adopted by the United States Army.
--On the one hand of Sea Knight's success, the US Army demanded a helicopter with even heavier transport capacity than the CH-46, resulting in the adoption of the CH-47A Chinook in 1962.
--The Boeing MH-47G is a Chinook special operations aircraft equipped with combat equipment aimed at improving survival in night and low-altitude flights in enemy-controlled areas while maintaining many of the characteristics of the current CH-47F. I will.
――This aircraft is mainly used for infiltration, withdrawal, and supply of special forces commanded by the United States Army Special Operations Command (USASOC).
--The MH-47G is equipped with a large fuel tank on the fuselage of the frame structure, and can be refueled from aerial refueling aircraft such as the KC-130 Hercules with a retractable aerial refueling probe.
――This aircraft also has excellent transport capacity, and M134 minigun and M240 machine gun can be mounted on the front, back, left and right of the aircraft respectively.
--Equipped with a liquid crystal glass cockpit, forward monitoring infrared (FLIR), AHRF (aircraft bearing reference system), etc.
--In addition, it is equipped with missile warning system, engine heat control system, and anti-infrared guided missile and radar jamming equipment such as chaff and flare launcher.
――This aircraft is also equipped with a device (FRIES) that can fast rope eight people from the air at the same time, an extraction rope for special reconnaissance (SPIES), and an individual position information system (PLS).
--The US Army 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment requires 61 MH-47Gs, which are planned to be delivered to USA SOC by modification and new construction from existing Chinook models.
--New MH-47G block? Will be delivered from Boeing to the United States Army in 2021.
--The 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, commonly known as the [Night Stalkers], is based in Fort Campbell, Kentucky.

――You can enjoy watching it as it is with the window package with a sense of reality. The pedestal is made of plastic, and the side of the box is made of ABS resin to ensure strength.
--The pedestal is printed with resin, which is the image of the deck of an amphibious ship.
-The lower part of the fuselage is made of die-cast, which is full of weight.
--The front and rear blades can be rotated and removed (common to all types).
--The rear lamp can be opened and closed and held in each position.
--Minimal precision printing marking that can be read up to about 1 mm.
-Reproduce every detail from the engine to the interior.
--More than 100 painting processes including weathering (* The number of processes varies depending on the model).
-Comes with a clear pedestal that imagines the flight condition.
--Retrofit parts and accessories that are convenient for moving and storing.
--The Metal Proud (R) series pursues material durability in consideration of rigidity and flexibility, manual painting process and readable micro-markings by high-precision tampo printing, in order to aim for a new collector's grade standard. It is a next-generation finished hobby series that you can enjoy by decorating it as it is in the window package (inner box) with a realistic display base and background image, or by taking it out, touching it, and moving it.

[Metal Proud Product Precautions]
--The Metal Proud (R) series is a hobby product for collectors.
――In addition to metal parts, there are unavoidable sharp parts and fragile parts in order to pursue actual reproducibility.
--Keep out of reach of children under 14 years old.
--The product contains parts that are installed after opening to prevent damage.
--Adhesive may be used to attach the parts.
--You will need a screwdriver to remove it from the pedestal.
