Finally a sheet for helos. I'm sure that many of you will be pretty pleased to find a sheet for modern helicopters. This one covers three aircraft, all in the tactical paint scheme of FS 35237 over FS 36375. For kits, Italeri seems to be the way to go. These kits will need updated and various sets are listed in the instruction sheet to bring them up to current standards.

First is a UH-1N from HMM-263, 'The Thunderchickens'. This is as outfitted with the 24th Marine Expeditionary unit in May of 2004

Next is another UH-1N from HML/A-167, 'The Warriors' from April of 2005

The third option on the sheet is an AH-1W from HML/A-167 as seen in Feb of 2006.

The sheet includes full data markings and insignia for all the options.

I'm quite pleased to see this sheet and hopefully we can get one on the CH-46 as well. I'd also like to see some earlier helo sheets and some in 1/72, so if we send letters/e-mails, perhaps this will happen.

Overall a fine sheet and my thanks to MAW Decals for the review sample. You can get yours direct from the link above. Free shipping in US. International orders e-mail them at mawdecals@vfdecals.com for rates.
