This is the Atlantis Models "1/72 Scale US Air Force Sikorsky HH-3 Helicopter Jolly Green Giant (formerly Aurora)" plastic model kit.
The HH-3 is a long-range search and rescue helicopter developed by Sikorsky for the US Air Force.
The US Air Force ordered Sikorsky's S-61R, which first flew in 1963, and gave it the designation CH-3C.
The CH-3E, equipped with a more powerful engine, was later introduced.
The HH-3 "Jolly Green Giant" is a CH-3E with additional special equipment.
Special equipment included armor plating, self-sealing fuel tanks, a stowable in-flight refueling probe, a jettisonable external fuel tank, and a high-speed hoist, and a total of eight aircraft were produced.
All of the aircraft initially deployed as CH-3Es were later converted to HH-3s.
