Aren't the rotors on these models plastic sprues? In that case, it's simpler to just chuck in a sprue and let the buyer cut them up if they want. After all, this is just a quick kitbash of the ordinary Huey model; no need to make things more difficult/expensive.

Was the original release of the Vietnam stuff a failure? It was a limited release, I understand. Looks to me like they used the initial articles in WI and associated short-term release to test the market.

The Huey fulfilled three roles during the conflict – as Slicks (troop transports), Gunships (armed), or Dustoffs (medical evacuation). At the peak of the American involvement, some 4,000 helicopters were in use by various branches of the armed force. Of these, the UH-1 Huey made up two thirds of this total.
