Here is another ancient sheet, this time for a variety of helicopters. The recommended kits for this one are the Hasegawa UH-1D, Monogram AH-1 and Matchbox AH-1. Availability of these kits is suspect, though they can be found. I'm not sure if anyone does a really new version of these, though I seem to recall Italeri doing a UH-1D/H. As with most of these older sheets, insignia is not included so if needed will have to come from some other source.

First up is an AH-1G '#1 DuMeMi' with a fearsome sharkmouth. Some mods will need to be done for this one to be brought up to specs

Next is 'Blue Ghose', another AH-1G and like its mates, in overall Olive Drab

The third AH-1 is a J model, 'Pandora's Box'. I have to assume these Cobras are all Vietnam birds.

The first of three H model aircraft is a medevac bird in overall white with a red spine.

Next is 'Flying Dragons'  in OD

Finallly, a USAF rescue bird in ADC grey with yellow stripes edged in black.

All in all a nice selection assuming you can find one of these sheets. A nice addition to this sheet are a number of Remove Before Flight tags.
