[H-26] 1/72 UH-1N Iroquois / AGUSTA-BELL 212 ASW

Experience the iconic versatility of the Bell UH-1N Iroquois and Agusta-Bell 212 ASW with this detailed 1/72 scale model kit from Fujimi. This kit allows enthusiasts to build a representation of the twin-engine helicopter that has served various roles globally, from utility transport to specialized anti-submarine warfare.

Originally developed by Bell Co., the UH-1N first flew in 1968, with approximately 600 units produced through 1987. It's renowned for its service with the USAF and US Marine Corps, powered by the PT6T-3B engine for enhanced performance. The Agusta-Bell 212 ASW variant, a result of technical collaboration with Italy's Agusta Co., transformed the helicopter into a formidable anti-submarine and anti-warship platform, featuring a sonar operations hydraulic system and automatic hovering devices.

This Fujimi kit, a rebox released in 2007, features finely recessed panel lines and subtle rivet detail on the fuselage and tail boom, providing an excellent base for realistic finishing. The interior is thoughtfully detailed, including a main instrument panel, pilot and co-pilot seats, collective sticks, rudder pedals, and rear cabin seating. The rotor head assembly consists of seven pieces, offering a good level of detail for this scale.

Included in the kit are specialized components such as a rescue hoist and Italian sonar equipment and antenna, allowing for the accurate depiction of the Agusta-Bell 212 ASW variant. The cabin door can be posed open with minor modification, adding dynamic display options.
