1:72 Bell UH-1 Huey (wet decals)

Bell UH-1 Huey 1:72 (Print Scale)

A sheet of water-slide decals in 1:72 scale from Print Scale for the American Bell UH-1 Huey utility helicopter. It offers national insignia, codes and personal markings. It serves as an alternative or a supplement to the decals from the box; the helicopter model itself has to be obtained separately.

The real subject

The Bell UH-1 Huey was an American utility helicopter that became a symbol of the Vietnam War. It was used for carrying troops, evacuating the wounded, fire support and supply, and it spread to many countries of the world. It is recognizable by the sound of its rotor and by a wide range of color schemes and markings.

Use and tips

Apply the decals over a smooth gloss coat, which prevents silvering. Dip the piece briefly in lukewarm water and, once it softens, slide it off the backing into place. We recommend using a decal softener and finally sealing the surface with a matte or semi-gloss coat.

Who the set is for

• Builders of the UH-1 Huey helicopter model in 1:72 scale
• Those interested in American helicopter finishes
• Modelers looking for an alternative to the decals from the box
• Collectors of aircraft markings

This is a set of water-slide decals, not a helicopter model. The kit itself, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
