DonSS3 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Well, I keep seeing the Fujimi AH-1s popping up on eBay, as I've already got the Monogram kit in the stash, that one is pretty much a known quantity, any comments on the Fujimi kit? This is the one I'm talking about: http://www.ebay.com/itm/AH-1S-Cobra-Step-3-1-48-Testors-1987-/290657520444?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43ac89cb3c Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For $15 you can't beat the Monogram AH-1F. IMHO the monogram kit is one of the best OOB US helicopter kits around in any scale. Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Netz Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 As mentioned Monogram has the best detail, I'd just concentrate on them. If another version is desired like a "W" like I did, I combined the Testors "W" with all the parts I could stael from the Monogram kit. Curt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rotorwash Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Amazon has the Monogram AH-1F kits for $11. Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DonSS3 Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 Thanks guys, that's pretty much what I expected, I've currently got a Monogram kit and a Italeri AH-1T in the stash. Wish Monogram would have done a UH-1 to the same standards as the AH-1 and Mi-24. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
