As I mentioned above, all of this detail was designed for the Visible Huey, so the engine access doors don't open because you were supposed to see that detail through the clear fuselage. To make use of these details, there will be some work involved.

The kit is molded in olive green styrene, this kit is presented on three parts trees plus one tree molded in silver styrene, one tree of chromed parts, and one tree of clear parts. This kit represents the US Army UH-1B Huey in its gunship configuration (though you can make this a slick if you'd like). This was a companion kit to the Phantom Mustang kit that is another popular classic, but this kit had some terrific detailing for its day and it is a shame Revell hasn't reissued this in its clear version. You see, this is the famous Visible Huey kit though the fuselage is not molded in clear. Here is a classic kit that has been reissued a few times, but not in its original configuration. These armed Hueys were nicknamed Hog or Frog, but their success in suppressing hostile fire led to the Model 209 which became a dedicated gunship - the AH-1 Cobra. Some UH-1Bs were armed in the field for this role while the Army developed a more complete fire support package to fit on the UH-1B. This was one of the major workhorses of Army Aviation in Vietnam, working principally as a troop transport and Medevac, but also serving as command ship, fire suppression, etc.Įarly in the Vietnam war, transport (slick) Hueys were coming under fire in the landing zones and an armed escort was needed. The UH-1B was the first version of the Bell Model 205 airframe which was stretched from the Model 204 that served in the Army as the HU-1A, HU-1B/UH-1B and UH-1C. The aircraft was quickly given its baptism of fire in operations in Vietnam, but it was a huge success in proving out the air mobility concept as well as heliborne close air support, medivac, and search and rescue (SAR) missions. When Bell developed the first production turbine-powered helicopter, the US Army initially designated the aircraft as HU-1 (hence the name Huey).
