Tamiya 1/72 AH-1W Super Cobra


Recommended Posts

Hi All, 

 

This is the final reveal for my Tamiya 1/72 AH-1W Super Cobra, which I built this for the Bell Huey STGB. This is my first build on Britmodeller. One great small kit from Tamiya. I had loads of fun building it. I used Tamiya Spray paints as my airbrush nozzle has broken down. I used pencil to highlight the raised panel line detail.  As my arirbush was broken, I didnt have the spray paints to do up a camo scheme and went for a simpler single colour grey scheme as I had the colour to do it.

Great one. Nice alternative on the paint job.

 

 

Hi, I built that very one and had this issue with the wings. They're supposed to be horizontal.

Good model!

But this kit (repack Italeri) have many mistakes. I done it some years ago.

 

Thanks for the comments! Im not sure about accuracy of the kit, I just try to build the model to the best of my ability!
