The UH-1N has served in numerous conflicts such as the Gulf War and Iraq, so modelers have ample scope to display this model in a range of settings. Glazed parts are rendered in clear plastic, while high-quality Cartograf decals show off the finished gunship to perfection. Even the tiny rivets, so much a feature of the fuselage, are minutely rendered. This medium military helicopter has been carefully researched and cleverly engineered to produce a highly detailed 1/35 scale helicopter. The minigun, for instance, is a brand new tooling and it exhibits amazingly intricate detail. As a gunship it possesses considerable firepower - weaponry includes 2.75-inch rocket pods and GAU-17 7.62mm miniguns. This kit easily builds into a UH-1N Gunship flown by the U.S. Navy and USAF ordered the UH-1N Iroquois. The first such variant flew in April 1969 with the Canadian government providing Bell with the impetus to develop this new helicopter powered by two Pratt & Whitney T400-CP-400 turboshafts. It is not often that Dragon releases a 1/35 scale helicopter, which makes the present time even more exciting Why Because Dragon has released a UH-1N helicopter in this scale The Bell UH-1N Twin Huey first flew in 1969 and it could carry 14 passengers in addition to the pilot. The new kit represents a UH-1N, a twin-engine version of the Huey. Dragon has produced a fabulous 1/35 scale plastic kit of this famous helicopter in an all-new guise. The "Huey" must surely be one of, if not the most, recognizable helicopters in history. Pre-painted photo-etched parts included Photo-etched parts for upgrading the detail Clear plastic parts for windshield and doors UH-1N fuselage rendered with fine detail Newly tooled mini-gun with intricate detail So glue, model paints and other basic modelling tools are additionally required.
1 35 scale huey helicopter series#
This kit will make some Huey fans happy but we'd all love to see a series of Hueys with the same level of detail we find in many of these armor releases from DML, Academy, and Trumpeter.This is a plastic model kit, which comes unassembled and unpainted. Panda stepped up with this kit and the UH-1N Twin Huey, but both of these kits need a few tweaks to get them looking right. Academy of course has contributed the H-13, UH-1B, UH-1C, AH-1W, AH-60P, UH-60L, MH-60G, AH-6, OH-6, and OH-58D in this scale. Trumpeter has tackled the Mi-4, Mi-8/17, Mi-24, CH-47A, CH-47D all in 1/35 scale. I would still like to see a 1/35th scale masterpiece of this very widely used aircraft.
