Hobby Boss 1:72 UH-34D Choctaw Scale Assembly

The Sikorsky UH-34D Choctaw is an important postwar rotorcraft, originally fielded for anti-submarine tasks and later used across military branches under the H-34 designation from 1962. Its Wright R-1820-84 radial engine supported troop transport roles for 12 to 16 personnel and allowed MedEvac configurations with eight stretchers.

This Hobby Boss 1:72 kit captures the Choctaw's general layout and panel lines, giving modellers accurate parts to represent the original machine. With well defined components, the kit works well for display builds and historical modelling projects.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1:72
  • Material: PS plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included
A careful intermediate build with painting and decals can take several weekends; exact time depends on finishing techniques and weathering choices.
Aftermarket detail sets or photoetch can enhance cockpit and external fittings, but the out-of-the-box kit already provides a solid base for accurate modelling.
Yes, the 1:72 scale Choctaw works well in small dioramas; consider ground crew figures and service equipment to add context.
