The UH-19
Chickasaw was first built in the early fifties for the US Armed Forces.
It was extensively used by the Air Force, Navy & Marine Corps for
transporting assault troops to the battle field, and the rescue mission by
the Navy during the Korean war. The UH-19A was equipped with a large
winch and floats for water landings and rescue mission which stationed at
the American coastal bases for emergency situation.

In building this model, I
didn't follow the instruction much, the painting guide in particular. For
the cockpit and passenger compartment, I painted Zinic Chromate
(Green) instead of Light Gray; the rudder, I painted in red-white-red
instead of yellow. During assembly, I put on the part 9a to the nose
section and for the pilot window, I had to cut the edge of part 20c &
23c in order to fit-in the model. For touch-up, I added seat belts
and tail lights to make it looks realistic.
In concluding, the overall
out look and the fit of the model are good. The decals are good
quality and applied with no problems.
