Finally finished! This was probably the worst model I have built to date from Revell. It might have been a good model in its time but as it seems, this kit is several decades old and worn-out molds only make it worse. Anyhow here she is, finished. Definitely not a contest model but certainly a welcome addition to my small air forces collection. If you are contemplating on buying a 1:72 long fuselage Huey (D, H models) choose Italeri. I have heard horror stories but at least based on the sprue shots I’ve seen on the internet, it is more detailed model and you will easily achieve better results than I did. I thank Balkan Models for the kit and decal sheet – the few decals that were used performed brilliantly – no carrier film is visible and no silvering appeared; I even didn’t have to use the setting solution.

Looks great. Any Revell kit that you can finish and not give up on is a good one. I have the worst luck with Revell.
Outstanding work. The job that those medevac crews were required to do in Vietnam was astonishing, especially when they were considered a prime target by the NVA. Great stuff.
Thank you Rich! I couldn’t agree more. Truely an iconic helicopter! I plan to start building Bell 412 in the near future, evolution of Huey design from the ’60s as a work in progress article, similar to this one.
