Detailed 1/48 UH-1D Iroquois kit from Italeri

The Italeri 1/48 UH-1D Iroquois model kit captures the defining characteristics of one of the most recognisable military helicopters. Developed for the U.S. Army and widely used during the Vietnam period, the UH-1D proved adaptable across many tasks. This kit offers a clear build path to recreate its form and operational look in miniature.

Legacy and Accuracy in Miniature

The UH-1D saw service around the world and was produced under licence in multiple countries, extending its operational history. Italeri focuses on the aircrafts outline and major fittings, producing parts that assemble into a convincing scale replica suitable for display or further detailing.

Modeling Experience and Display Value

Builders will find the 1/48 scale manageable for both painting and adding small enhancements. The assembled model works well on a shelf or as part of a larger collection, providing a strong visual reference to the original aircraft.

Some joints will benefit from light sanding and filler to remove seam lines. Careful dry fitting before glue will reduce visible gaps.
Yes, the kit includes clear components for the cockpit glazing. Handle them carefully and mask before painting to preserve clarity.
