cvrle Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Yeah, it's going to be an expensive summer... AZ has some interesting decal options (NASA! ), while the MPM has a wealth of stores options... I think I'll buy both and compare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excess Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I just saw that Hannants have a future release listed that's described as 3 sets, sprues only without decals. (http://www.hannants.co.uk/product/AZM77002) Anyone know what that's about? It's actually not a bad idea, considering all the aftermarket decals available from Fireball etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heloman1 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Great news re the Cobra's, I'l be getting a few of these. As an aside if Eduard intend releasing a PE detail set, I do hope they do some research first and not just bung a whole load of parts with no relevence to the accuracy of the kit.

Truro Model Builder Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Those Spanish Navy Cobras look the mutt's nuts in that blue colour scheme. Why can't they buy some Apaches as well? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

128fiddler Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) Is there by any chance a japanese aftermarket/rerelease on the market or close future? Has been long without any news since their initial release... the Cobra has such a variety of nice camo's... Thanks!
