Last week for my birthday, in addition to other nice gifts and well wishes, I also received 3 Treefrog gift certificates. It didn't take me long to decide how I wanted to spend them. This afternoon K&K 189SE, Bell HU-1D Iroquois USMC Troop Carrier "HUEY' was delivered (#88 out of 200 made).

It fits nicely on a 24-inch shelf which will be it's new display area. I'm thinking about a medi-vac diorama since the cabin interior is designed for cargo or stretcher litters. Another winter project in the works.

That’s one heck of an iconic piece for the series Mike. This will definitely make for a fantastic looking dio. Looking forward to seeing how you use it. Lucky boy. Robin.
 
THX Robin. This was a true work horse for the Marines. I am very pleased with it. Another nostalgic piece for me having taken more than a few rides in these.
