This release from Hobby Boss gives helicopter fans something to cheer about: new-tool Choctaws! The level of detail looks pretty good, while at the same time the parts count is kept low for ease of assembly. Superdetailers will doubtless have a field day with the inside of the cargo hold and cockpit. This boxing is of the D variant, with fuselage halves specific to this version. Decals are for two aircraft: the pictured YP/20 of HMM-163, and JE/213 of Helicopter Squadron 41, Republic of Vietnam Air Force.

The Sikorsky H-34 Choctaw was a helicopter originally designed for the US Navy for service in the anti-submarine warfare (ASW) role. It was developed from the Sikorsky UH-19 Chickasaw. It was powered by a single Wright R-1820-84 radial engine, and could carry 12 to 16 troops, or eight stretcher cases if utilized in the MedEvac role. It is a utility transport helicopter, with no armament on board. The aircraft first flew on March 8, 1954. It was initially designated HSS Seabat by the Navy and HUS Seahorse by the US Marines and US Coast Guard. In 1962 all services adopted the US Army designation, H-34 Choctaw. In 1962 under the new unified system, the Seabat was redetermination SH-34. |
