Italeri 1/48 UH-1D Iroquois scale kit honoring a classic military helicopter

The Italeri 1/48 UH-1D Iroquois model kit recreates one of the most recognisable military helicopters. Designed for the U.S. Army and widely used during the Vietnam War era, the UH-1D earned a reputation for durability and multi role capability. This kit gives hobbyists a chance to assemble an accurate model that reflects its varied operational roles from troop transport to medevac.

Service History and Model Accuracy

The UH-1D Iroquois was employed across many nations and produced under licence in several countries, which helped spread its design worldwide. Italeri's kit aims to represent the helicopter's silhouette and key features faithfully, offering a balance of historical reference and modelling detail suitable for display or diorama use.

Modeling Experience and Display Value

This 1/48 scale kit delivers a rewarding build that highlights panel lines and structural shapes. Finished models make strong display pieces, whether finished in a fielded, weathered look or kept as a clean museum style model. It is a solid project for collectors and modellers who enjoy military rotary aircraft.

The cockpit includes basic instrument panels and seating shapes typical of 1/48 scale kits. Modellers can enhance detail with aftermarket decals or small scratch built items for added realism.
Use polystyrene plastic cement for assembly and compatible acrylic or enamel paints for finishing. Primer helps reveal seams before final paint and weathering.
Painting and light weathering will significantly improve realism, but a neat, unweathered finish also showcases the kit's lines for display shelves.
