Italeri 1421 1/72 UCAS X-47B - Scale model of a carrier-capable unmanned jet

The Northrop Grumman X-47B marked a shift in carrier aviation, built for the stresses of deck operations. This 1/72 scale Italeri kit reproduces the aircrafts clean lines and carrier-focused features, giving model builders a faithful miniature to assemble and display.

Carrier Trials and Operational Highlights

Making its first flights in 2011, the X-47B demonstrated unmanned carrier operations during trials aboard the USS George H.W. Bush (CVN-77). The test programme proved concepts like catapult launches, arrested recoveries and integration with manned naval aviation, milestones the model helps illustrate.

Scale Modelling Features and Display Potential

This Italeri kit emphasizes the practical details of carrier stowage and handling, including folding wing joints and a detailed undercarriage. Builders will find the parts suit display or diorama work, and the finished model fits neatly alongside modern naval aircraft collections.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: PS Plastic
  • Assembly Required: Yes - glue needed
  • Paint: Not included - recommended for a realistic finish

How difficult is the Italeri 1421 kit to build?

This 1/72 kit is aimed at modellers with some experience. Parts fit is generally good but careful trimming and dry-fitting are recommended for a neat result.

What preparation and supplies are needed?

You will need plastic cement or cyanoacrylate glue, hobby knives, fine files, and paints. Brush or airbrush painting can both produce excellent finishes.

Is the kit ready to display out of the box?

The kit requires assembly and painting. Once built and painted it makes an accurate display piece representing carrier-capable unmanned technology.
