The UH-1 was a new type of helicopter first deployed by the US military in the Vietnam War, penetrating deep into the vast jungle and thoroughly slaughtering North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong soldiers. It is said that for all the Vietnamese who ultimately became the victors, there was nothing as hated as the UH-1. On April 30, 1985, the 10th anniversary of the victory, I happened to be in Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) and purchased this helicopter from a disabled war veteran amidst the joyous clamor. I was moved by the Vietnamese people making toys out of the American beverage cans left behind in the mountains after the US military's retreat, even though the UH-1 could be considered a symbol of hatred, and that's why I bought it. It is completely handmade, and its accuracy, at 1/26th scale, is astonishing. It also has parts for hanging it from above, and it hangs level. Opening the sliding doors on both sides reveals two cockpits. Please understand that this is a handmade vintage item, so there may be rust, stains, and misalignments in various parts. The size is approximately 36 x 8 x 15 cm, but the length and width will vary greatly depending on the direction of the main rotor.
