I know the Dragon kit isn't accurate but from wat i've been working with it's pretty outstanding

The Panda-come-Dragon 1/35 UH-1s are not horrible, but not really great either.  They still need a lot of work to be both accurate and come out looking good.   OOB they are presentable, but not much more. 

You can't really compare them to the 1/48 Revell UH-1B/C Gunship, it is pretty much a piece of crap.  Its a mix of versions, poorly detailed, and incorret for a USMC helo.

 If you want a great UH-1, check out Academy's UH-1C models.  They are really nice, well detailed, and very complete.  Too bad Dragon didn't rework the Panda UH-1D/H/N models up to that standard.

Check out this thread, about 8 posts down.  It is basically the same question you asked and has lots of additional info.

 

I guess the latest UH-1N reboxings are hitting the shelves now.

On these two sites you can find rewievs of the model:

As fa as I understand it's not good if you want to build a modern USMC helo.
