Bell UH-1 Huey
| "The Bell Helicopter UH-1 Iroquois, commonly (or officially in the U.S. Marine Corps) known as the ""Huey"", is a multipurpose military helicopter, famous for its use in the Vietnam War.
The UH-1 was developed from 1955 US Army trials with the Bell Model 204. The initial designation of HU-1 (helicopter utility) led to its nickname, Huey. The nickname became so popular that Bell started putting the Huey name on the anti-torque pedals. The aircraft was first used by the military in 1959 and went into tri-service production in 1962 as the UH-1. The last were produced in 1976 with more than 16,000 made in total, of which about 7,000 saw use during the Vietnam War. In Vietnam, 2,202 Huey pilots were killed and approximately 2,500 aircraft were lost, roughly half to combat and the rest to operational accidents. Your model will be made exactly as shown in the photographs (inscription plaques will change to the aircraft name where shown differently). If you would like to change this model in any other way, please visit the Custom Model section of our website to commission a personalized model to be built." |
