neil5208 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) Finish no8 for the year is the Special Hobby AH1G Cobra with M35 Cannon in 1/72 scale. First Special Hobby kit I've done and very impressed, no filler, minimal sanding, fine panel and rivet detail, canopy which fitted even though it was 5 parts, multiple weapon options and nice decals. First helicopter since returning to modelling but I thinks they'll be more to come, Dream Model's AH1Z looks nice. I went for a well used aircraft with a dusty appearance and based the rocket and gun pods on photo of Vietnamese based Cobra's. Built OOB painted with Tamiya acrylics and weathered with MIG Ammo powders. As usual all comment welcome.

SAT69 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Gotta love it when parts fit and no putty's required. Very well done model. You're having much success on completed builds for the year. That's great! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_Bad_Bill Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Very nice. The last time I did a Cobra was the Matchbox one, a couple of centuries ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that have been shortly after Napoleon put on his second stripe? The temptation was too great and I couldn't resist. I looked for a "slap my hand" emoji but couldn't find one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binbrook87 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Excellent. 👍 I do like some of the Hobbyboss kits for their simplicity and as a nice mojo restorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Centurion was a rank, not a tank. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
