I am planning to build Monograms “wonderful”[:(] Huey Hog model. As everyone knows they have Marine markings, which from what I have read is not the correct markings. I tried looking around for Army decals for the Hog but I am either looking in the wrong places, or they are just not out there. Is there a company making United States markings for the Huey Hog? My last resort will be to find another Ah-1S (or AH-1F) and scan the decal sheet to get the United States Army markings?
I am also looking for markigns to show a USSR Hind, from what I recall it use to be issued with the Hind when it first came out, not finding it now. Thanks for the help everyone.
Fireball Modelworks does a couple decal sets that would work. They have a set for the C for US Navy Seawolves and a set for UH-1D/Hs that you could rob some decals from for a generic scheme.
Linden Hill Decals does a few sets for the Hind.
Besides Joseph’s excellent decals, if you can find this Microscale sheet, you are also in business. For goodness sake don’t pay $34 buck though! I know the decals are for a UH-1B but the Huey Hog is easier to make a B out of than a C if you have a 1/48 UH-1D/H rotor handy you can shorten a bit. Either way, the Microscale markings are more accurate than the Marine ones in the kit. HTH

Thanks for the heads up everyone.
If doing a proper C version, you will need to modify the tail to the larger one; might want to check Cobra Company’s website to see if you want to use their “C” conversion set. Microscale also produced a sheet of 1/48 B/C Hueys, 48-279. It has markings for the popular shark-mouthed 174 AHC. Do not know where to find one right now (other than in my closet!), but I have seen it on E-Bay from time to time. Sheet 48-146 also has markings for a B/C HAL-3 Seawolf Huey and also a B from 1st CAV.
