Speedman Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Built for the obsolete kit group build. Converted to an "early" variant AH-1G with scratch built cockpit and details. AH-1G 66-15259 was the first HueyCobra to fly an operational mission and also the first to achieve a combat kill. Build thread. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I remember building several of these back in the '70's. I wish I'd done one in that scheme, yours is a beauty. Thanks for thr reminder that these old kits are still well worth building! Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upnorth Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Very nicely done. Proves the old Matchbox kits are still worthy builds in a lot of cases. I've just started on the old Matchbox piston Provost kit and I'll be quite happy if it comes out as nicely as your Cobra has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
