I hope this helps all who are venturing into this model. i ran out of micro sol/set so i had to use my Testors brand decal set and they laid down fairly well, not perfect but good enough. the glass fit into the body quite well with exception of the doors which the door glass has a. the rotor system went together very well with no drooping. 25ml or less Tamiya putty on the nose to get it to be perfect. fitment is nice, though i did have to use about. the clear is very clear, the opaque seems to have little to no releasing agent left on them as i didn't have to clean the parts before painting. Upon opening the box it was nicely packaged, even the fuselage was still on the sprue, it is molded in what i would consider a shiny olive drab, some raised and recessed riveting and panel lines, with a little work you can even add more in as your skill improves. I was at first surprised to find a 1:32nd scale Huey as i haven't seen one before. While definitely NOT a 'shake and bake kit, I recommend it for a Huey fan with some modeling skills. There are aftermarket parts that could turn this kit into a stunner with a bit of scratchbuilding. The decals are thin, in register and the colors are dense and look right. Since the engine and transmission are very basic, scratchbuilding additional parts will improve that option.
The rotor system is accurate, if missing a few details, and the engine and transmission with removable upper access doors add visual interest. Parts for a slick version are not included.Īssembly is straightforward, and the fit is OK, if not up to today's standards.
The biggest disadvantage for Huey aficionados is that most D models were troop carrying slicks with nylon fabric troop seats and pintle mounted M-60s on the sides at the aft end of the cabin. More modern D model kits are produced in 1/35 vehicle scale, and are significantly more $$, and some have detail inaccuracies that may need attention, making the Revell kit a value option for most builders. A matter of passing interest is that the box art depicts a short cabin B or C model, not the long cabin D Originally produced in the '60s, the Revell UH-1D shows its age with molding technology appropriate to the time, but its shape and level of detail is acceptable, and it can be made into a good representation of the type.
