H25A Army Mule (1/48 Scale) Helicopter Model Kit

Details:

The Piasecki HUP Retriever/H-25 Army Mule was a compact single radial engine, twin overlapping tandem rotor utility helicopter developed by the Piasecki Helicopter Corporation of Morton, Pennsylvania. Designed to a United States Navy specification, the helicopter was produced from 1949 to 1954 and was also used by the United States Army and foreign navies. The HUP/H-25 was the first helicopter to perform a loop and to be produced with an autopilot.

The Army decided that the type did not meet their requirements so transferred most of them to the US and Canadian Navy. A few were kept for training.
