HUP-2/HUP-3 USAF helicopter Scale 1:72 Amodel AMO72137 Plastic Helicopter Model Kit

HUP-2 / HUP-3 USAF helicopter model kit in 1:72 scale represents an early tandem-rotor utility helicopter operated by the United States Air Force during the early Cold War period.

The Piasecki HUP series was developed in the late 1940s as a compact, multi-role helicopter intended for liaison, transport, and training duties. The HUP-2 and HUP-3 variants featured a distinctive tandem-rotor layout that influenced the development of later military helicopter designs.

HUP-2 / HUP-3 USAF – Early Cold War Utility Helicopter

The HUP-2 and HUP-3 were used primarily for support and training roles within the United States Air Force, reflecting the early adoption of rotary-wing aircraft in post-war military aviation. These helicopters were part of the transitional period when helicopters began to replace light fixed-wing aircraft for short-range utility missions.

This plastic model kit by Amodel accurately depicts the USAF-operated HUP-2 / HUP-3 helicopter and is suitable for historically accurate Cold War aviation collections.

The model belongs to the Helicopter Model Kits category and is produced in 1:72 scale, a standard scale for compact rotary-wing aircraft displays.
