Academy 12138 1/35 USMC UH-1Y Venom
US Marines UH-1Y Venom Utility Helicopter
The Academy 1/35 scale UH-1Y Venom kit replicates the modernised Huey operated by the United States Marine Corps. Equipped with upgraded engines, a four-blade rotor, and advanced avionics, the UH-1Y excels in troop transport, close air support, and medevac roles. This kit captures the versatility and modern features of this key USMC utility helicopter.
The UH-1Y Venom was developed as part of the H-1 upgrade program to replace the ageing UH-1N Hueys. Entering service in the late 2000s, the Venom shares over 80% of its components with the AH-1Z Viper, reducing logistical challenges while improving combat readiness. With its advanced avionics, enhanced survivability, and greater lift capacity, the UH-1Y has been widely used in Iraq, Afghanistan, and beyond, demonstrating reliability in both combat and humanitarian missions. As the modern incarnation of the legendary Huey, the Venom continues to serve as a critical asset to the United States Marine Corps.
