still working on the cockpit as not had much modelling time recentely.i added buttons switches wires etc to cobra companys cockpit,decided to use eduards instrument panel and other bits due to the cobra co one being a bit shoddy (bad casting}.still lots to do!still need to build gunners TOW joystick and gunners side air con unit and LOTS of sanding to fit cockpit into fuselage.was debating whether to try archers rivet transfers as ive destroyed alot due to sanding if anyone has used them any info will be appreciated-thanks [/img]

looks awesome shawn.

1/35 AH-1w super cobra dials would be nice!its a popular model....

hey shawn nice, neat work so far man! i like the band aid seat cushions, i'll put that idea in my little book of scratch building materials!

wow really inspirational work and so neat and tidy

thanks for the comments guys and thanks for those pics shawn! you've set me a challenge so i will be including those panels/holes etc now (im finding new stuff missing from the kit daily,and i thought this would be straight forward build! ) Im not gonna go to over board though as i want to keep my sanity (ive considered vacu forming canopy.....nooooot gonna happen)

cool build and nice bit of scratch building.i've just started my academy ah-1w its a great kit

lovely work,i ve just started one myself.looking forward to seeing your other builds

like it looking forward to this build

nice work.very inspiring

Howdy all. just started work on this (i need a break from my corsair....dont ask lol), scratch built the engine and have started removing panels while im waiting for my cobra company cockpit set. I intend to open up one engine, the rotor break controls, side electronics and the cannon. Im using the Osprey 'cobra tank killer supreme' book for reference as it has a few really cool opened panel photos as well as the internet of course. Also i was inspired by Andreas Greim's AH-1W build which you can find on scale-rotors.com, really nice work check it out. Not sure what paint scheme to do yet,d

Hi anyone have any pic of AH-1W with open elecronics bays etc?

Very inspirational work looking forward to seeing new pics

Hi all. this is my first post, ive been modelling for around a year now and have a couple of projects on the go (mainly 1/48). Heres a few pics of my corsair, im trying out alot of new techniques with this build (super detailling, scratch building etc) and ive spent around a week or so on it so far Markings have been masked and sprayed (as u can probably tell! need touching up...) May need to tone down the weathering.... thanks for looking! comments/criticism welcome
