This is the old Fujimi UN-1N Huey kit no.30118.  It's a nice model that captures the stance and look of the UH-1N but lacks the interior and exterior details seen in the recent Italeri UH-1N.

This kit has been in my stash for a while and I decided to build an out-of-the-box Huey with a little color.  I had to choose an early production example  because this kit's mid-door lacked the window found in later variants.  I came across a good color photo from Bell of the first twin-engined Huey built for Canada and I was set.  Called the Model 212 by Bell, they were known as UH-1N's in US service and CH-135's in Canada.  I made all the markings in CorelDraw and printed them on clear blank decal paper with an ALPS MD-1000 and an HP950C.  The unique Canadian military font came from August T. Horvath.  See his website at http://web.archive.org/web/20020202210838/members.aol.com/k5083/profiles.htm.

The construction was by the book, with a tiny bit of detail added to the pitot and a replacement blade antenna cut from styrene sheet.  Paints were Testors Model Master Enamels and Acryl shot with an Aztek airbrush.  Build time was about one week.
