COBI-2423 COBI 656 PCS 'HC VIETNAM WAR /2423/ BELL UH-1 HUEY

The Vought F4U-4 Corsair was a US Navy fighter aircraft. It was produced from 1942-1952 by Vought-Sikorsky Aircraft. The popular "Corsair" entered service in 1942. The design process, however, dates back to 1938. The characteristic shape of the hinged wings and the rearward-shifted pilot's cockpit were the result of numerous modifications during the design and testing phase of the prototypes. The culmination of the design work was a construction with exceptional performance, considered by many to be the best fighter of World War II.

Corsairs were used by American units during the Korean War. In the initial period, there were dog fights between the F4U and the Yak-9 fighters, but with the arrival of the MiG-15, Corsairs in Korea were withdrawn to the role of support aircraft and night fighters. The plane was armed with six 12.7mm Browning machine guns, two 450kg bombs or eight 127mm HVAR unguided missiles. The first African-American US Navy pilot (whose life inspired a film script) sat at the controls of just such a machine.

The Bell UH-1 Huey is a multi-role American helicopter that entered service in 1957. It is widely known from the Vietnam War where it served as a transport, air support and medical helicopter. Many types of weapons were mounted on the helicopter including a machine gun on the transport sides, and in the support version 70 mm unguided missile pods and the M134 Minigun rifles. 12 soldiers could board the helicopter.

You can build the extremely popular American Huey helicopter, accurately reproduced in 1:32 scale, from a set of COBI construction blocks. The set was released in the Vietnam War series under the license of the American manufacturer of commercial and military helicopters Bell Helicopter Textron. Measuring 39 cm in length, the model has been covered with high-quality prints that do not wear out even during intensive use. The prints are characteristic of the US air cavalry and imitate the details of the equipment. The helicopter is also equipped with rotating blades and sliding doors.

The set includes two figures representing a pilot and a soldier. The set is completed with a brick with the printed name of the set and the Bell logo.
