If you grew up in the 1980s, you remember Airwolf. The dark graphite helicopter with hidden weapons, afterburners, and that haunting theme song. It was the coolest thing on TV, and for an entire generation of aviation and military fans, it was the ultimate dream machine.
Airwolf first aired on CBS in 1984. The show followed Stringfellow Hawke, a reclusive pilot who flew a supersonic prototype combat helicopter on missions of personal and national interest. The helicopter itself was a modified Bell 222, a sleek civilian twinturboshaft helicopter that looked dangerous even before the cameras started rolling. What made Airwolf unforgettable was its blend of Cold War anxiety, technological fantasy, and pure 80s swagger. It wasn't just a helicopter. It was a character.
Now, Airwolf is back. But this time, you don't need a secret government contract to fly it. You just need the MOC149250 Airwolf Building Block Set.
Faithful to the Original with a Clever Twist
This Airwolf building block set, designed and licensed by MOCturnal, faithfully recreates the iconic Bell 222 helicopter from the legendary TV series. Built on a sturdy 8wide chassis, it captures the essence of the original aircraft with remarkable accuracy. The cockpit glazing, landing skids, tail boom, and weapon pods are all carefully shaped using standard brick elements, and the proportions are true to the real Bell 222.
One of the cleverest features is its convertible design. Airwolf can be built in two configurations: fully armed or unarmed. The sidemounted machine guns are simulated using creative part combinations, adding a layer of authenticity that fans will appreciate. The set also includes instructions for a dedicated display stand, so once finished, you have a proper place to show it off. This makes it one of the most versatile helicopter building block models available for display.
What's in the Box
The set contains 1,039 high-quality ABS pieces. Parts are precisionmolded, fit securely, and have a smooth, burrfree finish. No loose connections, no rough edges, just a solid, satisfying building experience. The printed instructions are easy to follow, making the build accessible even for beginners. The recommended age is 8 and up, but let's be honest: this one is really for the adults who remember watching Airwolf on a Friday night.
Once completed, the model measures approximately 35.8 cm in length. The dark gray and black color scheme gives it a stealthy, aggressive look that stands out on any shelf, desk, or glass cabinet. For those who enjoy collectible vehicle building sets, this model delivers both visual impact and build quality.
Why It Belongs in Your Collection
For collectors of television and movie vehicles, Airwolf is a musthave. It joins the ranks of iconic screen machines like the Batmobile and the DeLorean.

The 8wide scale also makes it a perfect companion to other 8wide vehicle models in your collection.
