chikavili Posted September 25, 2024 Posted September 25, 2024 (edited) One of my favorite helicopters. I did a W variant a few years ago, which is an addition to the future collection of AH-1s. The kit was fantastic and a pleasure to build. I wish all the kits were this fun. Since the kit was supplied with only Spanish and Israeli decals, and I really wanted the machine from Vietnam, I've used some spare decals from other helicopters from that era (so some sizes and numbers are not quite correct) Edited September 25, 2024 by chikavili added tags 45 7 1
whiskey Posted September 25, 2024 Posted September 25, 2024 Yaaayyy!!! More Cobras! Beautiful build @chikavili, absolutely beautiful. I have about 5 of these in my stash currently, and plan on getting more still. My dad flew Cobras his entire career in the Army so I just love them. Nice job on the Italeri Whiskey also. 1
wellsprop Posted September 25, 2024 Posted September 25, 2024 Beautiful, the weathering is spot on! 1
Mycapt65 Posted September 26, 2024 Posted September 26, 2024 I've always loved the original Cobra since hearing stories as kid about them from vets that were on the ground. It was an original and ingenious design. Your build is a beautiful tribute to it. You've inspired me to pick one up now that there's finally a good 48th scale AH-1G 1
Vultures1 Posted September 26, 2024 Posted September 26, 2024 Very nice Cobra! The subtle variations in the weathered finish are really effective - well done 1
Keeff Posted September 26, 2024 Posted September 26, 2024 Now that's nice! Great work on the paintwork and wear effects ... 👏 Keith 😁 1
exdraken Posted September 26, 2024 Posted September 26, 2024 Nice and shiny 😉 The W is Italeri I guess? Great pair! Great design and evolution 1

Great design and evolution Yes, the Whiskey Cobra is Italeri. It has raised panel lines, but besides that, it's okay. Thank you all. Glad you like it as much as I do
russ c Posted September 27, 2024 Posted September 27, 2024 Really nice `cobra there, they look great together too 1

Don Posted September 29, 2024 Posted September 29, 2024 Fantastic build. Paint and weathering are spot on! 1
