whiskey Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Are you alluding towards a manufacturer is actually in the process of designing one to be released or is this just a rant for wishful thinking? Don't play with my emotions sir. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fujimi did one but it was very bad. Their later J and S are ok. Hacker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

11bravo Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Zero interest in a 48th Cobra. However, if anyone ever gets around to a 35th scale one, I am so in.... Never understood why the G model Cobra has been so neglected. It's by far the sexiest helo ever built! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiskey Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 There's at least SOMETHING in a larger scale for the AH-1G. RM's 1/32 version, which with some care and Werner's Wings updates (mainly the canopy) you can get a beautiful Cobra. And I've never understood why the rage about 1/35 for helicopters. Aircraft are modelled in 1/32 scale, so why complain if it's not in 1/35? There needs to be a 1/48 option for this helicopter. There really is a demand for it. I for one would probably buy 2 dozen of them if they are accurate and have no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiskey Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 What's a truckie-thing? And not sure what the difference is between Aeroplanes and Aircraft is but I'm sure it's just semantics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Army creepy crawlies are modelled in 1/35. 1/32 aircraft kits offer the right heft and detail, and we are seriously overdue some eggbeaters, especially the canary coloured Westland Whirlwind (to go with the missing Jet Provost 3/4) and Sea King (to go with the missing FRS.1 SHAR).

Aircraft includes airships and helicopters. Aeroplanes have wings, as in fixed flat-ish projections. As in monoplane, biplane etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackem01 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 It wouldn't quite frankly but a Skeeter or Belvedere in 48th would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bell209 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Given I'm very deep into my AH-1P conversion from the Monogram AH-1S, it's too late for me! I also have a Lindberg 1/48 AH-1G but it's really basic - you'd need to add lots of bit from other AH-1/UH-1 kits to make it presentable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloydWerner Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 As someone who has built three of them so far, I love them. Do yourself a favor and buy the High Tech kit. It has most of the things that you would need. Don't forget Werner's Wings decals and armament. Floyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
