American UH-34A 'Choctaw', 1/72 - Hobby Boss 87215

The American UH-34A “Choctaw” plastic model kit to assemble by Hobby Boss, reference 87215, reproduces at a 1/72 scale an American military helicopter, the Sikorsky H-34 in its UH-34A designation.

The UH-34A Choctaw

The Sikorsky H-34, also known by its manufacturer designation S-58, is an American helicopter developed during the 1950s. Used on transport and liaison missions, it is recognizable in particular by its radial engine mounted at the front of the fuselage and by its four-blade main rotor.

The Hobby Boss model kit

This Hobby Boss reference lets you build a static replica of the UH-34A Choctaw at 1/72 scale. This scale reduces the dimensions of the real subject by a factor of 72 and is suitable for building a collection of military helicopters or a scale-homogeneous diorama.

Assembly and finishing

As with any injection-molded plastic model kit to assemble, preparing the parts, carefully gluing them, and removing the mold seams help ensure a high-quality final result. Applying a primer coat before painting makes it easier to check the assemblies and achieve a smooth, even finish. Decals are best applied to a clean, smooth surface.
