Army 1/48 decals for a UH-1C and MI-24D Hind, are they available?
Posted by Mustang8376 on Sunday, April 7, 2013 6:47 PM

I am planning to build Monograms "wonderful"Sad Huey Hog model.  As everyone knows they have Marine markings, which from what I have read is not the correct markings.  I tried looking around for Army decals for the Hog but I am either looking in the wrong places, or they are just not out there.  Is there a company making United States markings for the Huey Hog?  My last resort will be to find another Ah-1S (or AH-1F) and scan the decal sheet to get the United States Army markings?

I am also looking for markigns to show a USSR Hind, from what I recall it use to be issued with the Hind when  it first came out, not finding it now.  Thanks for the help everyone.

Current build: 1/48 Monogram A-1H & AMT Jedi Starfighter.

Fireball Modelworks does a couple decal sets that would work.  They have a set for the C for US Navy Seawolves and a set for UH-1D/Hs that you could rob some decals from for a generic scheme.

Linden Hill Decals does a few sets for the Hind.

Besides Joseph's excellent decals, if you can find this Microscale sheet, you are also in business.  For goodness sake don't pay $34 buck though!  I know the decals are for a UH-1B but the Huey Hog is easier to make a B out of than a C if you have a 1/48 UH-1D/H rotor handy you can shorten a bit.  Either way, the Microscale markings are more accurate than the Marine ones in the kit.  HTH

If doing a proper C version, you will need to modify the tail to the larger one; might want to check Cobra Company's website to see if you want to use their "C" conversion set.  Microscale also produced a sheet of 1/48 B/C Hueys, 48-279.  It has markings for the popular shark-mouthed 174 AHC.  Do not know where to find one right now (other than in my closet!), but I have seen it on E-Bay from time to time.  Sheet 48-146 also has markings for a B/C HAL-3 Seawolf Huey and also a B from 1st CAV.
