Italeri 1/72 Uh1b Huey Helicopter Model Kit

The Bell UH-1B "Huey" Iroquois is the helicopter that defined the Vietnam War, its distinctive blade slap audible in countless war films and documentaries. The UH-1B was an early gunship variant fitted with M60 machine guns and 2.75-inch rocket pods, serving as armed escort for troop-carrying UH-1D slicks. Over 7,000 Hueys served in Vietnam, with more than 3,300 lost in combat. This compact 1/72 Italeri kit captures the iconic silhouette with skid landing gear, door guns, and Vietnam-era US Army markings.
