ICM MODELS 32061 BELL AH-1G COBRA (LATE PRODUCTION) US ATTACK HELICOPTER
1/32 SCALE
DESCRIPTION:
Nicknamed "Snake” during the Vietnam War, the AH-1G Cobra was one of the first purpose-built helicopter gunships. Using the engine, transmission, and tail of the ubiquitous UH-1 transport helicopter, the Cobra had a deadly bite with various combinations of unguided rockets, cannons, and grenade launchers in its early life; TOW wire-guided missiles armed later versions.
FEATURES:
For its first 1/32 scale helicopter, ICM has released the early production AH-1G. A new Cobra has not been seen in this scale since Revell’s 1967 offering, which has been re-released several times. ICM’s modern kit has beautiful surface detail, good fits, crystal-clear canopy parts, and a bunch of weapons. Later production variants are obviously planned because TOW launchers are included on the parts trees. Four finishing options are included: three in standard overall green and one in a striped tan and green disruptive scheme.
The cockpit features detailed instrument panels with decal dials, flight controls, and sharp seats, although they lack harnesses. Interior details also include the transmission and gear-box bay with poseable doors. All the interior parts are easily assembled and painted before the fuselage is closed, but I finished the cockpit after the tub was glued in place and the exterior completed to avoid awkward masking. I left all the details (like the seats and controls) out of the cockpit until the final stages. Reference photos online supplied detailed information for painting the transmission bay.
