For a 1/72 Huey, Revell make a D/H version, whilst Italeri make a B and C. Esci aparently made a nice D. Don't worry about the Hasegawa kit, it's inaccurate.

For specificly Vietnam, Esci used to make US and Vietnamese soldiers in a soft vinyl but apparently well detailed. Of course, there is no need to use Vietnam as a background, multiple countries used/use UH-1's, so anyone of them would do.

It's probably sucking egss, but don't forget a full flight crew!

Cheers,

Ok I have a Monogram 1/48 AND an Esci 1/72 Huey coming!
We´ll see how it goes...forced perspective would require a shadowbox if there is any landscape shown, meaning big size. Or just show a side view, cloudy background, back light, name: "Ride of the Valkyrie"

I´m getting in the buying thing. I just buy things without any idea what to do with all of those kits. A total of eight kits waiting for me, it used to be one or two unbuilt just month ago. And all I´ve finished in that month was one figure... #:-)
