Thousands served as transports, air ambulances and gunships. \"Slick\" was the nickname for transport Hueys flown without heavy gun and rocket armament. The UH-1D introduced the Huey's longer cabin, letting it carry more troops or cargo. Licensed production in Italy, Germany and Japan put the Huey into the armed and police forces of more than fifty nations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBeginner-Friendly Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italeri rates this kit skill level 4, so take your time.
