Hobby Master HH1009 1:72 UH-1C Huey "Surfer Girl" 174th AHC 1st Aviation Brigade
Hobby Master HH1009 1:72 UH-1C Huey "Surfer Girl" 174th AHC 1st Aviation Brigade Scale Aircraft Model
There were 766 Bell UH-1C helicopters built in several equipment modified variants. One
was the “Frog” equipped with side-mounted XM-158 twin rocket pods each holding seven
2.75 inch rockets. The "M-5" fitted the gunship with a nose turret mounting an M-75 40
mm automatic anti-personnel grenade launcher that held 300 anti-personnel grenades.
The crews referred to these as “Chunkers” because of the sound when the grenades
were fired. The infamous “Shark” gunships were created in 1966 when permission was
granted to use the fearsome looking “Tiger Mouth” on the front of the Hueys.
