Panda Huey kits?
Posted by ben1227 on Sunday, March 9, 2008 3:48 PM

I picked up their 1/35 UH-1N Gunship kit from Hobbytown yesterday since it was only $20. What's the overall quality of their heli kits, how accurate are they, etc?

It's been awhile since I looked at the kit but there have been lots of posts and reviews here.  A quick search the search feature on this page and "Panda UH-1N" revealed at least a half dozen comprehensive posts including this one:  /forums/414598/ShowPost.aspx

With some work, the Panda (now Dragon) Hueys can come out looking great.  I haven't built the N model yet, but have built a few D/H models.  It is the same basic kit as the N, which has an extra sprue for the N-specific parts.  You can see one, my UH-1H WSMR SAR Huey, here.

If you use some TLC and the Cobra Company parts, they can come out looking great.  Well worth the $20 you spent on it.  Good luck.
