UH-1H ground handling wheels
Posted by buckeyefan on Monday, May 9, 2011 3:41 PM

This is my first message to the FSM helicopter models forum.  Does anyone know of an existing 1:35 scale set of HUEY ground handling wheels avaialble in a kit or as aftermarket accessories?

Not sure about aftermarket, but they are not very complex and could easily be scratchbuild, as long as you have some wheels in the spares box.

Not much can be gathered from this pic. There's a wheel on each side with a hand pump/bar sticking aft, in the center. This UH-1 was in one of our hangers for a while, while they were shooting a remake of "Red Dawn". This one was in Vietnam, and still has all the patches from groundfire.

I got to work, just in time to see it departing into a "red dawn", on filming day.

Some 1/72 landing gear wheels will work fine. These dollie wheel sets were made by various companies for various airframes. There are even some that are "universal" that fit just about any helo with skids. Just about anything you make will be plausible.
