Sarathi S. started following 1/48 F-35C coming from Tamiya in December!, My AH-1W/Z book is almost sold out, WIP - Academy AH-1Z 1/35 and 6 others

Order placed, I appreciate the heads up.
-
Chipping and all. Absolutely beautiful work!

I still have one of his MC-130H conversion kits in the stash, sad to hear he's gone. -
Trumpeter's 1/35 AH-1W - Pleasantly Surpised!

Just got mine in yesterday, second what Dave said, I'm pleasantly surprised. On first glance the detail is very well done, they even rendered some details in the oil cooler bay, which was wholly unexpected. Every other Cobra kit I've seen just has that area blanked over with the mesh screened door. Another thing to note, the kit instructions aren't wholly correct, they have you putting the HIRSS baffles in the exhaust stacks. This was only done for a short time in approximately 2004-05 prior to the integration of turned exhaust. Before that the exhaust pipes were just straight -

This is excellent news. Now we just need turned exhaust and dual chaff buckets... -
I don't think the D kit has the B's wing glove ECM bumps does it? It's nice to see that Quinta's offering 3D printed conversion kits now that Phase Hangar isn't doing it anymore.

Is it possible to modify the metal blade parts to look like the composite blades?

Trumpeter releasing a whole host of new 1/35 helos in 2025

Huh, so they have. Cool. Kind of weird going from a complete dearth of modern Cobra kits to a surplus in the course of a couple years. I like it. -

Isn't Trumpeter releasing a Whiskey Cobra, not a Zulu? -
The sharkmouthed Zulu, and yes I am on FB

Very nice, congratulations! I really hope it ends up looking better than their current color bird. That one just makes me sad sometimes.

Certainly looks to be a better start than the Academy kit. Looking forward to getting my hands on one. -
I heard about this being done while I was down at New River a few weeks ago, was glad to see they used the correct green instead of whatever 269 pulled out of the paint barn for their Zulu. Cool to know you had a hand in it!

I was fortunate, my Squadron order got caught in that same snafu but somehow escaped safely
