Paracel Miniatures dust off their new 35th scale UH-1 sets...

Paracel Miniatures prepare to unload their new US army Huey crew & soldiers into the "Valley of Death" - AKA your modelling bench - with this new big set & associated singles & pairs in 35th scale. See what is on offer in these sets in our preview...
Paracel Miniatures dust off their new 35th scale  UH-1 sets...

Paracel Miniatures has been working on this set for a while. No less than seven US army soldiers and pilots to suit your 35th scale Huey UH-1 from the era of the Vietnam War. Sculpted by Jangleo and in this instance for the box art painted by TOHE. The figures are shown in the Huey ready to depart, pilots in the cockpit.
The two pilots are also sold as a set, and they are suited to fit the Dragon and Academy Hueys. It will certainly bring some life to the cockpit. 
We will look at these releases in their sets now...
