Adding to the helicopter stable in 1/48 scale, there is now a UH-1N on the way for Navy aviation fans.
Kitty Hawk has announced they are working on a Navy version of the twin Huey, the UH-1N. The 1/48 scale kit should be a based on the previously released Huey. There is no release date as of this time, but would think it should be relatively soon.

Uugg. This looks to be a nice kit, but I was hoping it was an announcement for their long awaited 1/35 Huey.

I know it's box art, but looks pretty generic. Can't wait for sprue pics.

USN UH-1Ns were pretty generic as they were general utility helos usually w/out guns. They did have some colorful and interesting Navy paint schemes though. Shipboard UH-1N (as depicted on box top) HH-1N SAR Antarctic Expedition Unless they offer some USMC UH-1N versions, which usually had guns and rockets, generic is all you will get. Overall green (70s-80s) Land Warfare/Mediterranean camo (80s-90s) Desert Storm UH-1N in unique sand/brown camo Or sand/grey camo Or overall sand. Overall grey (Late '90s-current, Iraq/Afghanistan) USMC HH-1N SAR The possibilities are endless if you mark it as a USAF, foreign, or a civilian UH-1N as well.

If I'm not wrong, the HH-1N SAR has a crane on the cabin behind the pilot's seat, I hope they wil include it in the kit. LINK Pablo Montero

A real nice and accurate 1/35th UH-1N would be awesome! So would a 1/35th USCG Jayhawk!

Yes, most have the rescue hoist and it is usually on the right side behind the pilot's seat. Hoist Installed It can also be installed mid-ship on the right side as well.
