This repaint features authentic Israeli Air Force markings for the Bell UH-1H rotorcraft, created specifically for Microsoft Flight Simulator X by Bernhard Lechner. It is intended solely as a texture package for the payware model produced by Nemeth Designs, which must be acquired separately. The result captures the characteristic appearance of the IAF Huey, a utility helicopter known worldwide as the workhorse of numerous military forces.

A Closer Look at the Actual Airframe

The Bell UH-1H, often referred to by its unofficial name “Huey,” can be traced back to the original Bell 205 design. In IAF service, these helicopters have fulfilled diverse tasks such as troop transport, medical evacuation, and general logistics support. The UH-1H lineage is recognized for its single turboshaft powerplant, capable of reliable lift and maintaining stable hovering. Its two-bladed main rotor design allows for efficiency in hot and high conditions, which is essential for operational requirements in regions with elevated temperatures.

Unique Aspects of This Paint Scheme

These textures reflect the distinct camouflage and markings used by the Israeli Air Force. The coloration was applied to align with operational requirements in desert and urban environments. The rotorcraft markings include national insignia designed for quick recognition from the air, further highlighting the authenticity of this repaint. The careful placement of stencils and emblems ensures a faithful representation of the genuine IAF Huey appearance.
