1/72 - Bell 206A Jet Ranger by Italeri - released

Italeri's 206B (or C if some of you prefer) is neither.

It's still an OH-58A or C. The passenger doors windows are too narrow, while ironically their 58A had the taller passenger windows.

In any case, the real 58A and C had the longer tailboom and main rotor diameter of the 206L model, so the kit is not correct but for a 206B/C.

We can only live in hope, @GeejeeZ - it's only been three years since they put it back in the catalogue!

 

It's also worth mentioning the JetRanger rear cabin windows are the same height as the front ones (you can even see this by comparing the correct box art with the sprue shots), so the OH-58A fuselage in this kit needs some cutting and new rear windows to properly represent a 206A/B.
