Finally!

Looks nice.  I wish SOMEONE would make a nice late-model 72nd USMC UH-1N too!

Niiiiice!

Thank god.  Certainly took them long enough.  Hopefully a Yankee will be down the pipe too

We're sorely lacking a decent UH-1 of any kind in 1/72! Hopefully Dreammodel will do the Huey family next.

So my understanding is that the forward canopy shape and height of the nose in front of it is different on the later models (as depicted by the kit)... does anyone know if the Italeri canopy and nose could be used to modify it? 🤔

I think you might be thinking of the difference between the original AH-1W and the AH-1W NTS, not the AH-1Z, nothing has changed dimensionally with the AH-1Z's nose section since the design was finalized.

Whoops, you're right... I was mistaken, sorry.  Still, anyone know about the possibility of modifying their Whiskey to non-NTS?
