Tango 1 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Hello! This is my Italeri/MRC 1/35 AH-1W COBRA. I added some scratched details to the cockpit and crewed it with a D-Toys resin figure in the forward position and my own figure built from spares in the rear position. Other mods included detail painting the instrument panels, drilling out the cannon barrel's , adding wiring, boxes and harness's etc. I also used decals from Two Bobs Aviation Graphics to depict a Whiskey Cobra from HML/A-167 "WARRIORS" USMC. I painted it with Tamiya acrylics and for the weathering I made use of AK Interactive's panel liner washes, with some artists oils. Here are some more photo's I wanted to share with you.... Happy Modelling! Darren. 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantome Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Every time I see an excellently done twin engined Cobra like this, I lament the fact there's not a decent kit in 1/72. Killer work! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
