Piasecki HUP-1/HUP-2

Description

This is an injection-plastic aircraft model kit.

This kit from Micro Mir is a completely new mold! The HUP-1/2 is a tandem-rotor general-purpose helicopter with a single engine developed by the Piasecki Helicopter Corporation, and the HP-2 is the first mass-produced helicopter equipped with an autopilot. The prototype XHJP-1 was mass-produced as the HUP-1 in response to a request from the U.S. navy to develop a small-sized general-purpose/rescue helicopter for shipboard use. The U.S. Army changed the specifications somewhat, and operated it as the H-25A Army Mule. The HUP-2 was renamed UH-25B in 1962. and was operated by the U.S. Navy until 1964.

This kit from Micro Mir comes with photo-etched parts, a paint mask seal, resin parts for the engine, and decals for three versions (HUP-2 for U.S. navy, H-25A and HUP-2 for U.S. Army). Order yours today!
