oortiz10 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) Greetings ARC, OK, so, report cards are done, parent conferences are done, benchmark testing's done...and so is my Cobra! This is my first attempt at a kitbash. I took Fujimi's AH-1S Tow boxing and mashed it with their AH-1J release. The undernose armament is mostly scratched except for the turret and minigun. The turret is the -J's but modified to fit the "thumper." The minigun is from my spares box. I did some minor mods in the cockpit. Namely, scratching some ECS hoses, a small sighting glass, and some seat belts made from tape. Some other additions are the intake screens made from some spare PE and strips of Tamiya tape. The model's painted with MM enamels, weathered with Flory washes and pastels, and decalled with Fireball markings. A few detail shots. Here's my Cobra and a couple of shelfmates... First, a brother-in-arms from SEA. Second, a younger cousin from a different branch of the armed services. Thanks for stopping by and having a look. Feel free to share your comments, questions, or criticisms. Stay tuned for the next AH-1 installment... -O **I have to thank Mig for saving my bacon with a spare canopy after I ruined my original. If it wasn't for him, this build would be collecting dust in the closet. Edited March 15, 2019 by oortiz10 J, not T. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
