Scale Model After-Market resin detail sets for Helicopters

Cobra Company (out of business) 1/35 UH-1B backdate set for the MRC 1/35 UH-1C Huey Hog. The blades were based off the Seminar UH-1B gunship but are the incorrect chord width. Still the set offered a lot of corrections including the early unarmored seats, rotor blade counterweights, correct fuel filler cap, correct shape tail fin, correct narrow chord sync elevators, etc.

Lone Star Models purchased all the masters from Chris at Cobra Company and has released this set now under his company name. Excellent service and turn around time from order to getting them in the mail. Thanks Mike!

Cobra Company 1/48 UH-1CHuey Frog/Hog update set for the Monogram/Revell Huey Hog series. Out of production.

 
Seminar 1/35 UH-1B. This kit features the correct 204 rotor head and early Bell Mouth intake, correct smaller chord sync elevators, correct non-cambered tail fin with single light, and FM antennae for the nose.

The armament subsystem however should me the M16 quad M60 machine guns with flex chutes and early 7 shot pods if you are modeling an early UH-1B.

Cobra Company made a correction set for the flex guns but I have not seen in offered again.

Cobra Company also made an update set for the MH-60M DUSTOFF however this is particularly difficult to find. As such in order to get a correct set of updated rotor blades you have add a narrow 1mm strip to the rotor blade chord, sweep the rotors blades downward camber them, and add another trim tab.
