Redboost Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Hey folks, my last one this year, built over the X-mas. It is a gorgeous little kit that fall quickly together and although it has its own shape issues, for me it is the best Cobra option. No.315 of the First Attack Helicopter Squadron during the Lebanon war in 1982. Cheers Libor 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain goat Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Very nice model, it has the slender look of the Cobra all over it - I think you might have sold the kit to me. Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fin Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Is this built entirely OOB? It looks awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Rhodes Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Hi Libor, Stunning model as always! Still hoping that Special Hobby make the AH-1F version... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redboost Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 Thanks gents! F would be nice, let's see... The kit is not entirely OOB, I used Special Hobby etched for the interior and Eduard RBF. Cheers Libor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Monday Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Hi Libor. Well done on a nice Cobra. I am hoping to build this kit soon in Israeli markings. Can you tell me what paint (brand/number) you used to paint your model? Thanks. BM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildeSau75 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 nice `copter - the paint scheme came really good. Cheers, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redboost Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 Thanks guys, glad you still like her, it is almost a year it has been posted. Hello BM, I'm sorry I haven't properly recorder this build, it was a sort of quick build over short vacation period. I remember I did not follow the instructions, because that particular brown colour was introduced later, so I went for my own mix using Gunze H66 and H310, plus possibly few drops of other browns to match the photos. Unfortunately, don't remember the exact mixing ratio... Cheers Libor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vultures1 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Lovely job! Especially like the subtlety of the weathering/shading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Monday Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 No problem. Thanks. Might try the combo of Humbrol 29, 72 and 110. This is supposed to be the correct colour for the Cobra and Defender in 1980 or thereabouts. BM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
