Review: Amazing Huey Helicopter Display - Very nice, a good display piece, my military Huey lover couldn't believe the detail of it
Review: Dustoff - The Postage Stamp series are pretty good entry level collector die-cast models of some famous warbirds. UH-1 Huey helicopter comes from the same die-cast molds as the other models in the series, good panel details and mostly correct parts. For some reason, this unarmed DUSTOFF UH-1A still has the side mounts found on the Gunship Hueys. Regardless, this does not detract from the model. Greenhouse windows are green, but interior is not painted, a small detail which would add to the model. As the bulk of the fuselage is die-cast, no seams or screws to worry in the overall look.
