Revell Germany UH-1D Huey Gun Model Kit

This kit has been circulating for years and has had very little fixes for the heavy flashings everywhere on it which are a shame. But still it is a great and simple build even for a beginner. I used it for a EFL student’s lessons when talking about aircraft engineering and design. The detail of certain parts made the build fun for the student who had never built a model before. It seems that this model is no longer made so I am going to search for another one somewhere for my own private collection. Pros: easy to build, great size and simple enough for beginners. Cons: some parts weren’t injection molded properly, some parts like the front frame of the windshield were incomplete by half a millimeter. Needed to use some ingenuity to fix the issues. The flashing left around the mold were a little too much and made sanding harder than it had to be.

This model is ok. The plastic is a little thin but it goes together good. You just have to handle with care when putting together. Over all it’s a cool helicopter.

It was a Christmas gift for our grandson and he loved it…a very nice piece!

Good size and body but landing gear and rotor blades not easy to assemble without super glue..
