best huey kit

My vote is for the Italeri 1/48 UH-1D/H.  On a related note, the WORST 1/48 Huey has to be the original Monogram UH-1A or UH-1B, yuk.  Fujimi reboxed this fine kit so don't be fooled by their "Black Bunny" boxing.  Same old atrocious kit.

Ray,

 I have to disagree with you on the worst.  The old Aurora "Cobra" kit "B gunship" gets my vote for the worst.

I'll second Ray's. 

Best kit out of the box is the Italeri UH-1D/H.  As for the gun birds... well... the Monogram kit... but that's a whole other can of worms.

For 1/48, it's definitely Italeri. Also check out their UH-1N kit. It's been reboxed under Heller.

After reading some of these posts the other day , I didn't realize that the Heller offering of the 1/48 UH-1N Huey was a rebox of Italeri's version . Over the past couple of months every time I went to the local hobby store I kept seeing the Heller kit on the shelf for $20 . Being a Heller offering I was a little suspect about the quality and overlooked her lots of times ; until yesterday . This kit is terrific.

The two sprue's were bagged as was the clear parts which were seperatly bagged . The kit also includes two XM-93 Miniguns as well as two rocket launcher's . All in all it was a wonderfull suprise and for 20 bucks , I've been smiling ever since I got home yesterday from the hobby store . It certainly pays to keep checking these forum pages every few days , there seems to be lots of bargins out there and sometimes right under my nose ... A little knowledge go's a  long way . Kind Regards Everyone  John .

I'm back on topic - sorry for the diversion.

Randy, you are a man of substance AND humor. I'm cracking up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Italeri kit DOES look like a winner.
