1/56 - Bell UH-1D/H Huey by Rubicon Models - 3D renders+box art+decals+test model - release in 2022

Yes, a 1/56th scale plastic kit. Rubicon Models UK Ltd (https://rubiconmodels.co.uk/ & https://www.facebook.com/rubiconmodels) is working on a 1/56th Bell UH-1D/H Huey kit. A curiosity or an attempt to create one standard ? But I am very dubious about this product.

tanks!

1/56

maybe it is a typo... is there anything out there in this scale?

 

maybe they have boxes available for a adequately sized model... or it fits the owners/designers shelf

It's 28mm, popular Wargaming scale, so guess it's to go with that.

Oooh a Chickenhawk with Stretchers. I’ll be having one thank you. I can scale it up to 1/48 then using this as a guide.

I guess this is to complement Rubicon’s line-up of 1/56th scale armour. Looks interesting.

They do some very nice 1/56 armour and are expanding from WWII to Vietnam.

And despite being a bit rivet heavy it looks to be a quite nicely detailed model and if their armour kits are anything to go by then it should be good. Plenty of options on the decal sheet too.
