George ★★★★★

The 115 parts went together with barely any flash on the sprues, which surprised me for the price. Fit around the cabin and rotor head is clean, and the SAR markings look right in 1:72.

Michael T. ★★★★★

I've built a few 1:72 helos before and this one's fuselage fit is noticeably tighter, with barely any filler needed along the seams. The SAR details like the hoist and markings are crisp right out of the box. Took me a weekend and it looks great on the shelf.

Charlotte ★★★★★

The 115 parts in this 1:72 scale kit give the UH-1D a surprisingly accurate shape, especially the rotor head and cockpit windows. Fit was crisp throughout, no flash to clean up. Looks great on my shelf next to other SAR helos.
