In Germany it is known as the EC-665, and in France it is called the PAH-2. In 1984 the French and German governments issued a requirement for an advanced multi-role battlefield helicopter, program beginning late. The EUROCOPTER Group, owned 70% by AEROSPATIALE France and 30% by Daimier Aerospace (DASA) of Germany. Due to high costs, the program was canceled in 1986, but was relaunched in 1987. Subsequently, in November 1989, Eurocopter received a contract to build five prototypes. Three were to be unarmed testbeds and the other two armed prototypes (one for the German anti-tank variant and the other for the French escort helicopter variant). Easy Model Platinum Collection The Easy Model "Platinum Collection" series presents highy-affordable, ready-made plastic models of military aircraft in 1:72 scale. While these models may not have the same "heft" as their diecast siblings, they do offer remarkable value for money. Most importantly, they look perfectly at home alongside diecast modes, allowing collectors to "flesh out" their collection with types and paint-schemes not yet available in diecast. Easy Model "Platinum Collection" display airplanes feature: Molded plastic construction. Realistic panel lines, antennas, access panels and surface details. Pad printed markings and placards that won't fade or peel like decals. Spinning propellers. Authentic ordnance loads. Permanently extended landing gear. Presentation stand to display the aircraft "in flight".
