"1/32 Revell Huey"
jlynton223
Kit is large and a good deal for the price. However, this kit had more flashing on the pieces than any kit I've done prior. This may be an issue with this kit line or just the batch that I bought. The floor of the interior didn't match up 100% when the halves were combined but was easy to overcome with some work. There are marking for two different helo's however, one is Major Crandall's bird and the other is for Canada Search and Rescue. The line decals are a little on the thin side, but decent quality. Lastly, there are two pilot figures but they are very low quality and are 2 pieces each that glue front and back as opposed to solid figures that have one or two pieces that need to be glued together that typically come in the 1/35 or 1/48 scale kits. But this kit does have a lot of detail and is a great value for the price! I only list the negatives for future buyers to plan conversions ahead of time. Gunships were usually UH-1B's or C's with the D's being troop transports but the gunship pieces provided in the kit give you several options to make it how you want. If you willing to put in the time and can plan out some scratch building, this kit has unlimited potential.

"UH-1D 1/15/17"
Wayne (Reno, NV)
Was not pleased with this kit, It is a very old tool and it shows! a ton of flash, poor panel fit, the seams on the fuselage are terrible! door windows do not fit= gaps you can see through. it does have a bunch of armament options! The old adage you get what you pay for applies here. I got to the point of installing the guns and didn't like what I saw so I tossed it in the dumpster!

 
"Decent model for the price"
Randy
Overall this is a decent model with a few exceptions. The interior/cockpit assembly fit very well and the fuselage sides came together perfectly. The engine, transmission and main rotor system have nice detail. The cockpit doors and engine covers were a very poor fit so I mounted all of them in the open position. The decal set is superb. I did not use the pilot figures (seemed hokey to me) nor any of the weapon systems as I flew slicks in the Army. I painted every part. Final product looks good.

 
"A decent low cost D model Huey"
jimmbbo
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. A matter of passing interest is that the box art depicts a short cabin B or C model, not the long cabin D 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. 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. Parts for a slick version are not included. Assembly is straightforward, and the fit is OK, if not up to today's standards. The rotor system is accurate, if missing a few details, and the engine and transmission with removable upper access doors add visual interest. Since the engine and transmission are very basic, scratchbuilding additional parts will improve that option. The decals are thin, in register and the colors are dense and look right. There are aftermarket parts that could turn this kit into a stunner with a bit of scratchbuilding. While definitely NOT a 'shake and bake kit, I recommend it for a Huey fan with some modeling skills.
