1:48 Preview of UH-1C Huey by Hobby Boss

On the Hobby Boss website we can find a presentation of the box content of UH-1C Huey helicopter in 1:48 scale.
Scale: 1/48
Catalogue number: 85803

The kit continues the product line of „Easy Assembly” what mean is has less parts than „normal” kits and is suggested to younger enthusiasts of our hobby. Inside the box we can find a single sprue of grey plastic with main parts, two fuselage halves and a small sprue of clear styrene with the cockpit glazing. Clear parts have a great transparency, visible even on those „not the best” pictures. There are also two sheets of decals providing markings for two effective painting options for Marines and Army Hueys.
