Lego Vietnam War UH1H “Huey” Helicopter

The UH-1H “Huey” helicopters were widely used during the Vietnam War as gunships, medivac vehicles, and for deploying troops into battlefields.

The Huey could fly up to 139.15 miles per hour and had a Lycoming T53-L-13 engine. For the minifigures I used Brickmania stickers and printed Brickarms M1 steel pot helmets. The middle right figure is a Lego Star Wars Endor Rebel Trooper torso and legs and an unprinted Brickarms M1 helmet.

All of the minifigures hold M16s except for the pilot and the gunner who instead uses an M60 machine gun.

The propeller spins and up to three minifigures can fit inside the helicopter. Over all, this is one of my biggest Vietnam war MOCS and one of my biggest MOCS in general. if you like this and want to see another Vietnam War MOC, check out my Lego M113 Armored Personnel Carrier.

The M113 armored personnel carrier (APC) was a vehicle used during the Vietnam war. It is equipped with a .50 caliber M2 machine gun and can hold up to eleven troops, and offered good protection with its thick aluminum armor.

For the minifigures I used Brickmania stickers and Brickarms weapons and helmets. All in all, I am very happy with how this turned out and hope to make more Vietnam war MOCs in the future.
