1:72 Scale Diecast metal and plastic parts ? Agusta A129 Mangusta Mongoose Attack Helicopter - Italian Army - Length: 6.75" (fuselage) Rotor span: 6.5? A display stand is included. The model is already assembled and painted, however, the blades, and rotors need to be assembled. No glue is needed. The assembly for the rotor and the blades are very fragile, so one needs to be very careful when attaching the blades since it is very easy to bend or break things out of shape. The landing gear is fixed in the extended position. These helicopter models are really not toys, they are not made to be played with. They will not last long if played with. Moreover, these models are made to look realistic and faithful to the real thing, so little parts like landing gears, skies, weapons, pods and antennas are made from small parts and are very fragile. The Agusta A129 Mangusta (English: Mongoose) is an attack helicopter originally designed and produced by Italian company Agusta. It is the first attack helicopter to be designed and produced wholly in Europe. It has continued to be developed by AgustaWestland, the successor company to Agusta. It has been exclusively operated by the Italian Army, which introduced the type to service during 1990.
