Yes, a Bell UH-1D MedEvac, and not "Medivac" like some people use to say ;-) it means "MEDical EVACuation". Shame on me, I found that helicopter with "Blood, Sweat & Tears" on the nose somewhere on the web, I've no idea how & where I found it, and I've no information about the use and history of that chopper, sad. Click on images below to see larger images I used Eduardo photo-etched parts, really useful for that kit. In the cabin you can find stretchers, a bucket of "water" and.. hm, yes too much blood. But that was the job... that's the job they got to do. I had some trouble with the nose, because the color showed GIANT canyons. It was a hard work to fit it. You can still see, that the color is thick. And the stabilizer is... a little bit misshaped. But all in all an eye-catcher in my show case. Julian (aka Medevac71)
