Which model HUEY is this?

Looks like a UH-1J, latest Japanese licsensed version. Looks like it has an N nose.

…or a Huey II with the nose upgrade. It looks like it has Columbian markings. They have a bunch of Huey IIs

It’d make an interesting model.

Come to think about it. That is the Bell Helicopter Company’s Huey II. They have been flying that thing to air shows all over the world. The huey II has a Cobra drive train and rotor system. It also has the optional longer nose like the “N” model. I like it except for the nose. A model of this is real easy. Get the Italeri UH-1D and UH-1N, use the fuselage of the N model and use everything else from the D model. The D model had the wrong rotor system anyway. Dave

Dave, I believe you are correct, this is the HUEY II from Bell
