Hobby Boss 1:72 UH-34D Choctaw Scale Reproduction

The UH-34D Choctaw by Sikorsky entered service in the 1950s and later became the standard H-34 designation across services in 1962. Powered by the Wright R-1820-84 radial engine, the type could move 12 to 16 troops or be set up as a medical evacuation platform for eight stretchers.

The Hobby Boss 1:72 model reproduces key structural cues of the Choctaw with crisp moulding and clear detail lines, giving hobbyists the parts they need for a faithful static model. It is a practical choice for collectors focusing on mid 20th century military rotorcraft.
