The Boeing Vertol CH46 Sea Knight is a medium-lift tandem-rotor transport helicopter powered by twin turboshaft engines. It was designed by Vertol and manufactured by Boeing Vertol following Vertol's acquisition by Boeing. Development of the Sea Knight, which was originally designated by the firm as the Vertol Model 107, commenced during 1956. It was envisioned as a successor to the first generation of rotorcraft, such as the H-21 "Flying Banana", that had been powered by piston engines; in its place, the V-107 made use of the emergent turboshaft engine. On 22 April 1958, the V-107 prototype performed its maiden flight. During June 1958, the US Army awarded a contract for the construction of ten production-standard aircraft, designated as the YHC-1A, based on the V-107; this initial order was later cut down to three YHC-1As though. During 1961, the US Marine Corps (USMC), who had been studying its requirements for a medium-lift, twin-turbine cargo/troop assault helicopter, selected Boeing Vertol's Model 107M as the basis from which to manufacture a suitable rotorcraft to meet their needs. Known colloquially as the "Phrog" and formally as the "Sea Knight", it was operated across all US Marine Corps' operational environments between its introduction during the Vietnam War and its frontline retirement during 2014.

WHY OUR MODELS
Our models are handcrafted by master craftsmen using only the highest grade materials. Each piece is a fusion of art and history, resulting in a museum-quality masterpiece. These models make the perfect gift for aviation enthusiasts, history buffs, military personnel, automobile enthusiasts, or collectors. Most importantly, we offer custom creation services, allowing you to request any model of your choice.
HOW THEY ARE MADE
Each of our desktop models is meticulously hand-carved from reclaimed mahogany and other fine woods by our seasoned model builders. These models are not merely display pieces; they are family treasures designed to be passed down through generations. The craftsmanship and history embedded in our models will surely be appreciated.
We use leftover wood from the furniture manufacturing industry, ensuring that no trees are purposely cut for our wooden models. Our desktop models are crafted to fit conveniently on your desk or bookcase, without adhering to a specific scale. Our highly skilled artists take great care in creating these beautiful replicas to perfection. Due to natural variations in wood color, we cannot guarantee consistent color across all models.
Our models are shipped semi-assembled, requiring some simple final assembly. For instance, airplane wings and helicopter blades need to be plugged in, but no glue is necessary. We stand by the quality of our models and guarantee your satisfaction. If you are not completely happy with your wooden model, let us know, and we will promptly send you a replacement.
