Academy Hughes 500D Police Helicopter in 1:48 depicts a police-operated Hughes 500D, a light helicopter from the American Hughes/MD 500 family. That line grew from the civil Hughes 500, itself derived from the US Army's OH-6A Cayuse.
The 500D variant
From 1976, the improved Hughes 500D became the main production version of the series. It introduced a more powerful engine, a T-tail and a new five-blade main rotor. In 1982 it was succeeded by the 500E, which added a more pointed nose and interior updates.
