"Better Than Any B-Huey from 40 Years Ago"

mark.nickelson

I was using a Monogram B-Huey to make a Navy trainer, and not loving the results, when I took note of the recently released Hobby Boss UH-1C. Close to 40 years newer than any 1/48 little Huey model, it's substantially nicer. Big surprise. The HB Huey-C's best feature--I'm viewing this kit as ready to make a Huey- A, -B, -C, -F or TH-1L--is its windshield casting, that comprises the overhead lights and the pilot door windows, correcting a vexing arrangement in the side windows of the old Monogram model. Other pluses in this 30-part kit: a) the price; b) the main rotor, molded in one piece; c) one-piece landing rail casting; d) apparently superb fit. Minuses, correctable if you cannibalize a Monogram Huey (cheap and plentiful), are lack of collectives and rudder pedals, and the molded-closed cabin doors. You could use the Monogram crew figures, too, as they're fairly nice. And you could weaponize the Huey. As kitted, the HB Huey is a slick in either Army or Marine livery.

"Good little kit"

sharpe_wr

Simple construction, lacks a bit of detail, mainly armament which is near impossible to come by. Will be in my stash until I can discover an available set to make the Sharks version more accurate

"Great kit for a great value"

jesgonzalez895 (jesgonzalez895@gmail.com)

Nice price for a solid kit. Quick and easy build. Has small interior details and only downside is no crew figures and doors molded closed. Other than that very simple kit to piece together holds up nice. I will be grabbing a few more once they come in stock again.

"Huey C Model -- A Must Have for Your Helicopter Collection"

JRB (Burleson, Texas)

I thoroughly enjoyed this simple kit. I was so happy to get a C Model Huey. They were not as good or as powerful as some of the later Ds but they were tough birds. This model is good for any skill builder. Though I think older guys who know Hueys will enjoy it more. The only recommendation I can give is to weight the front end to keep it level on the shelf. It is definitely worth the time and money. Reminds me of a time we really dont want to remember but have to so as not to repeat it. Hueys, what else needs said. See my photos.
