What are the differences between the Augusta-Bell 205 and the Standard UH-1D/H? I am wanting to get the new Dragon kit in 1/35 scale, for a Rhodesian project. They recieved a few of these near the end of the war there.
Externally, nothing. The only real difference was the TurboMeca engine on the Augusta bird and the GE powerplant on the US-built Bell versions. There may have been a few different bumps and antennas, but those would be user specific, not Augusta vs. Bell specific. The Dragon UH-1D/H should build up just fine as a Augusta-Bell 205.
Thanks Gino. As always spot on!
