Is that Chinook armed or armored or both?

Think it’s a rerun, look at the number.

Trumpeter was scheduled to release the chinook helicopter gunship version, the ACH-47A which was an experimental set up used in the Vietnam war. IIRC there were 4 of these helicopters but only one survives in a museum today, the others were destroyed in Vietnam.

Didn´t W-Model do kit of the Archer a while ago? And Trumpeter/HobbyBoss is notorious for “borrowing” ideas from resin companies? ( Kriegslok Baureihe 50 and SLT 56)
