ITALERI 040 US UH-1B HUEY HELICOPTER (1:72 SCALE)

DETAILS

This helicopter, designed by Bell at the end of the fifties, is still in service today in its newer and later versions. It is by far the most widely used rotating wing aircraft ever produced. The Huey was extensively used during the Vietnam conflict by the US Forces, mainly in support and attack sorties equipped with various armaments. Thanks to its reliability and robust construction, the UH-1 was quickly aquired by the armed forces of many countries (among others Italy, Japan, Sweden, and Holland). UH-ls remained in service until the end of the seventies and were then substituted by its more modern and sophisticated versions. This 1:72 Scale kit includes decals for three different versions; RAAF, Japanese Air Force, and USAAF.
