This helicopter
flew in the Vietnam War in the 174th AHC (Assault Helicopter Company). That
company was named "Sharks & Dolphins"
More information
about that : www.174ahc.org (a very
very interesting page !).
There were two
"Easy Riders" the first one crashed due to a tail rotor strike
(UH-1C), the second one came to them in 1971.

Revell
04476 is the name of the kit, and it's currently available. The "Easy
Rider" emblem is a home printed decal, the shark mouth, the stripes on the
tail and the flag at the end of the tailboom are painted by hand.
Well I've got to
say that the tailnumber is wrong, and the real shark mouth is more curved ;-)
Hope you like it.
