In this latest release, Cobra Company transforms the Panda 1/35
UH-1N Huey into a more detailed representation of the twin-Huey
operated by the USAF. More specifically, this set transforms the
Panda kit into the configuration of the UH-1N flown by the 20th
Special Operations Squadron (SOS) in their unconventional warfare
role. Known as the Green Hornets, the 20th operated the single-engined
UH-1F/P is Southeast Asia and transitioned into the UH-1N in the
early 1970s.
This set provides all of the parts needed to correct the lines
of the aircraft and add some much-needed detailing in the cockpit.
The set includes a new nose, nose structure supports, instrument
panel, center pedestal, overhead console, pilots seats with armor
plating, replacement doors with interior detailing, cyclic grips,
fire extinquishers, and more.
This set brings the aircraft up to 'slick' configuration - the
airlift version. If you want to replicate one of the armed Green
Hornet gunships, you'll need this minigun
set as well..
If you're more into Marine Corps aviation, Cobra Company also
has a detail set to transform the Panda kit into the contemporary
USMC twin Huey.
This set is definitely recommended for the Huey modeler and
is available directly from Cobra
Company (www.cobracompany.com).
My sincere thanks to Cobra
Company (www.cobracompany.com) for this review sample!
