spruecutter96 Posted May 8, 2021 Posted May 8, 2021 (edited) Hmmm..... the schemes provided in Homebee's posts are a bit dull IMHO, to be frank. Why no huge, grinning shark-mouths? No big, personalised logos on the engine-cowlings? Hannants are supposed to be producing decals for all three of the new ICM kits - I will wait and see what they are supplying. Really looking forward to this kit. It is well-past time that the Revell kit was superseded. Chris. PS: The first of these kits is advertised on E-Bay right now.... Edited May 8, 2021 by spruecutter96 Amending some information.

If I remember correctly, the first flat-canopy version was the AH-1S. I don't think any AH-1S's ever served in Vietnam (but I'm not a Cobra fanatic, so am happy to be corrected on that one). Chris..
stakor Posted May 8, 2021 Posted May 8, 2021 It doesn't seem flat canopy version is coming. However early Q/S mod will be released for sure (I cant see M65 nose, maybe this will be in resin??). Seems in 'early' kit are all parts to build 'late' version. I was thinking to use old revell 'squatter swatter' decals as I still have them but they also need some correction... I am also wondering if kit #32065 will have M35 system as we can see it on the picture but no M35 parts present - hope additional M35 frame will be added.
stakor Posted May 8, 2021 Posted May 8, 2021 Just check their webpage - M35 will be in the 'late' kit 1
Scimitar F1 Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 This looks great. Raised rivets are good to see. I also like the mask outlines in the instructions. If you have a Cricut or Silhouette cutter this makes it very easy. If this sells then I wonder if we will see other helicopters from ICM. It also marks ICM becoming more ambitious in 1/32 - moving away from single engine WWII fighters.
AlCZ Posted May 18, 2021 Posted May 18, 2021 I hope many years in new "Snake from Nam". Unfortunatelly it a 1/32 not 1/35 (I don't understand why.). It is a big difference beyond 1/35 and 1/32 ? I prefer a AFV scale and Snake is last type what isn't availiable to Nam collection - or AH-1... (Amt Whisky Cobra & Academy Viper). And Huey Cobra especially is green? elegant and deadly as real King Cobra - for me still lookin' Attack Helo ever... yup, modern twin engines are too nice but Huey is still most beautiful. Btw exist AH-1 with pin up girl ?

Stephen Posted May 21, 2021 Posted May 21, 2021 The early version is in stock at Hannants https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/ICM32060?result-token=gGMTQ
Willi3d Posted June 3, 2021 Posted June 3, 2021 All of the parts for a late Vietnam era are in the box, except for the M-35 gun system. The kit has the twin gun turret, right side tail rotor boom, and the anti-Strella mods (upturned exhaust, engine cowling air scoops, and the small half-moon shield above the exhaust) included in this “early” boxing.

Julien Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 Early production review. I kind of like the duller decal options as not all had sharks mouths etc. Some times it better just to do line bird. Inclusion of a NETTS camo scheme is good. 1
Dudikoff Posted June 18, 2021 Posted June 18, 2021 I hope they keep adding more variants. Also, downscaling to 1/48 would be great, too. 1
