Homebee Posted December 26, 2021 Author Posted December 26, 2021 (edited) As for the ICM 1/32nd AH-1G Cobra kit (link) just reboxed with upgrades by Special Hobby/CMK (link), the Special Hobby 1/48th AH-1G Cobra kit will be reboxed in Q3 2022 by ICM, in a "Forward Operation Base" duo pack including the ukrainian company new N.A. OV-10 Bronco kit and several figures. - ref. 48303 - Bell Cobra AH-1G + North American OV-10A Bronco with US Pilots & Ground Personnel and US Helicopter Pilots, Forward base - release Q3 2022 Source: https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/ICM48303 V.P.

GioCare Posted December 26, 2021 Posted December 26, 2021 The rebox ICM AH1G made by SH is only a speculation or do you have informations about this? Hannants reported as NEW a box from ICM with Bronco OV10 and AH1G in 1/48 ( with several figures sets), but it's probably referred to a new tools by ICM also for the Cobra. Exactly as it was last year when the new Bronco was announced with the O2 vietnam kits set. So now the ICM kit of Cobra should be a different thing from the SH one. Or there'are other informations on web we do not Know and you know. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Special Hobby and ICM seem to be working together. SH did both 1.72 and 1.48 AH-1G but used the ICM 1.32 for thier boxing, as ICM will do in 1/48. No sense in making new toolings for things (tools are expensive) when your partner has already done this. Also irrespective of the logic behind this and the fact that @Homebee has his ear to the ground with these things, its the rumor section so we all like a good rumour and dont necessarily have to prove that here as its "The Rumour" section. So lets have a bit of positivity at Christmas.

The crème de la crème will no doubt be the 1/48 scale AH-1G Cobra kit. And no worries here please, the Q version will be released as well, just a bit later. (...) V.P. 1

I didn't see the tail rotor assembly and clear parts. That's because it's not there. Time to upgrade my glasses.
