There is reference to a 1/48 AMT on wiki and there is one now posted on ebay.

good lad! we knew you could do it!

Airwolf was a Bell 222 with a few cosmetic changes.

AMT/Ertl released a 1:48 Airwolf model back in 1984, kit #6680. It could be assembled as either Airwolf or a standard 222.

The AMT/Ertl kit instructions say 222B, but Wikipedia says it was a 222 (aka 222A), and even gives the serial number of the specific machine used:

It was originally an Esci product and had extra parts to replicate the outside appearance of the TV show chopper. The interior, however, was dead stock civilian. Mine came in a very dark grey plastic.

FWIW, there had been (till last year) a museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee that included among the exhibits a replica of the Airwolf helicopter. It was built using some of the hardware from the TV series mock-up, the rest of the add-on hardware being recreated from official production plans. Unfortunately the museum was in a lousy location and cost too much for me to visit, and it's gone now, being replaced by something else.

I expect Airwolf may be headed to another museum collection or possibly to Star Cars in Gatlinburg.

I still have my AMT kit (several, in fact). Didn't one of the various Chinese companies do a knock-off recently? And when is someone going to do it in the one and only scale 1/72? :)
