The really amazing model was the transparent Monogram 1/24th scale Bell
UH-1 "Huey" helicopter.
It took forever to spin up to full speed, but God help you if that main
rotor ever hit you at full RPM. :-D

Iirc, this was the 'copter with what my Dad called the "Jesus Nut", that
one nut that allegedly held the whole craft together and, when hit by
enemy fire, gave all aboard just enough time to yell "Oh, JESUS!".
