MRC Models, 1:35 scale, Bell UH-1C Huey “Frog”, US Army, Display Model Kit#BA106

Description

MRC (Model Rectifier Corporation) presents, 1/35 scale, Detailed plastic assembly kit display model, Bell UH-1C Huey "Frog" Gunship Helicopter, US Army, Vietnam War.
Chronologically, Bell's D, E and F variants preceded "Charlie's" production, but the UH-1C is actually the B models true descendant. Charlie is easily distinguished by its larger fin and elevators, the 540 'Door hinge' rotor hub and wider chord rotor blades.
The Frog was a fearsome fighting machine. It carried a formidable range of weaponry, including side-mounted twin rocket pods and an M-5 40mm grenade launcher on its nose. Each of the two pods held seven 2.75 inch rockets and the M-5 grenade launcher could carry over 300 anti-personnel grenades.
In 1966, permission was granted for the UH-1C to wear the famous barred teeth trademark of General Claire Chennault's Flying Tigers. This marked the birth of the much feared "Sharks" Huey gunships.
