True-to-scale Huey model kit

This officially licensed Metal Earth kit reproduces the Bell UH-1 Iroquois helicopter in miniature steel. It arrives in a brand new box with fourteen precision-etched parts that fold together without glue or paint. The Easy difficulty rating makes it approachable for adult hobbyists and collectors who want a display piece rather than a complex build.

Collectors seeking a compact display piece

The assembled model measures approximately 4.72 inches long, .79 inches wide and 1.57 inches high, so it fits on a shelf or desk without dominating the space. Builders who want opening doors, interior detail or moving rotors should look elsewhere because this kit has no openings and the rotor is fixed. The set includes landing gear but no pilot figures or accessories.

Holds shape during long-term display

Once folded and tabbed the steel sheets lock into a rigid airframe that resists warping under normal indoor conditions. No adhesive means there is no bond to degrade over time and the coloured metal finish does not require protective clear coat. Occasional dusting with a soft brush keeps the detail visible without risk of bending the thin rotor blades or skids.

Questions about this item

What tools should I have ready before starting the 14-part Huey kit?

No glue or paint is needed; tweezers or similar precision tools are recommended for bending and placing the steel parts.

Will the finished 4.72-inch-long model look correct next to my 1:72 scale aircraft?

The kit is an officially licensed true-to-scale replica, so its proportions match the real UH-1 Iroquois rather than a fixed modelling scale.

How can I confirm the model is assembled correctly once finished?

Check that all 14 parts are fitted, the landing gear sits evenly, the exterior details match the licensed Huey profile, and the helicopter measures about 4.72 by 0.79 by 1.57 inches.
