UH-1 design question
 

I'm doing out the UH-1 right now. (Don't expect it for a while). What I'm wondering is should I do it all in one entry, or in three entries (early Hueys UH-1A to UH-1D and variants, late Twin Hueys and their variants, and then the UH-1Y in a separate entry). Which would you rather see?

Considering how many versions there are, it might make sense to break it down into at least two entries: Single Engined birds, and Twin Engined.

I agree with Panther Al, I think it would be clearer for the reader if it's broken down into at least two types, i.e. single engine and twin engine.

Are you thinking of the short frames(A, B, C), then D, H, finally the N?

So here's what I'm going to do:

1) Single-engined UH-1s, including Hawgs and specialist and foreign versions
2) Twin-engined UH-1s (mostly from UH-1N), including specialist and foreign versions
3) UH-1Y Venom
4) Bell 204/205 series
5) Bell 212/214 series

Looks good, Paul. Run with it.

Cool!

Since its electrons, I'd vote for three. If there are differences between them, there's no real reason not to have each one separately.

The Canadians also have a version that resembles the one used by US Naval forces....only they adopted it decades earlier.

CH-135 Twin Huey: A Canadian version of the UH-1N, Canada purchased 50 CH-135s with deliveries starting in 1971. The aircraft were retired from the Canadian Forces starting in 1996 and struck off strength in December 1999. 41 of the surviving CH-135s were acquired by the US government in December 1999 and transferred to the National Army of Colombia and Colombian National Police.

CH-146 Griffon Canadian version of the Bell 412EP , a custom built utility transport helicopter made for the Canadian Forces. Canada purchased 100 aircraft.
