HOBBY BOSS 87224 BELL AH-1F COBRA ATTACK HELICOPTER (US ARMY / ISRAEL)
1/72 SCALE
DESCRIPTION:
The Bell AH-1 Cobra is a single-engine attack helicopter developed and manufactured by the American helo. manufacturer Bell Helicopter. A member of the prolific Huey family, the AH-1 is also referred to as the Huey
Cobra or Snake.
The AH-1 was rapidly developed as an interim gunship in response to the United States Army's needs in the Vietnam War. It used the same engine, transmission and rotor system of the Bell UH-1 Iroquois, which had already proven itself to be a capable platform during the conflict, but paired it with a redesigned narrow fuselage among other features. The original AH-1, being a dedicated attack helicopter, came equipped with stub wings for various weapons, a chin-mounted gun turret, and an armored tandem cockpit, from which it was operated by a pilot and gunner. Its design was shaped to fulfill a need for a dedicated armed escort for transport helicopters, giving the latter greater survivability in contested environments.
