Trumpeter 1:35 - Chinese Z-9WA Helicopter - Plastic model kit #05109
The Harbin Z-9, also known as "Haitun" ("Haitun" is Chinese for "Dolphin"), is a licensed Chinese version of the French multipurpose Eurocopter AS365 Dauphin. It was first built by Harbin Aircraft Manufacturing Corporation in 1981 from the parts supplied by Aérospatiale (now Airbus Helicopters), a French aerospace manufacturer. A decade later, Z-9 helicopters consisted of 70% Chinese-made components and were ready for production. It was opened in 1993, launching a new Z-9B model.
The Z-9 helicopter was designed as light transport able to carry 10 fully equipped soldiers. It has a four-blade rotor and two turbo-shaft engines fitted next to each other on top of the cabin. The armed version was designated as WZ-9 or Z-9W. It is equipped with anti-tank missiles, both thermal and night vision optics as well as a tracking module.
The Z-9WA is one of the latest models of the series capable of shooting air-to-surface missiles. It is also compatible with a number of anti-tank, anti-ship and air-to-air missiles.
