Looking forward to this one Don't get too excited just yet. The consensus seems to be that certain sections of the sprues will be removed when the kit ships. I think it's a long shot that ICM will include the later turret. Which is too bad, because that's the version I really want to build. You up for some decals for this kit?

Oliver I knew this kit would be right up your street and it would be amazing to see you work your magic on the old Revell OH-6A kit, if that is the one you choose to build! LD.

All the parts to do a late version Cobra are included. Only thing they left out was the XM35 20mm cannon, which is too bad since that's the version I really wanted to build. Hope we get some nice resin cockpit and weapons from one of the usual suspects. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HeavyArty Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) The AH-1G (Early) kit is announced as a May release by ICM. It should be available soon. They are now showing the box art and decal sheet as well. Edited May 7, 2021 by HeavyArty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 The kit is already available on eBay from Ukrainian sellers. It was released today, according to the ICM web page. https://icm.com.ua/aviation/ah-1g-cobra-early-production/ Also, the late kit is coming in mid-October, and looks like it has the M35 cannon option. https://icm.com.ua/aviation/ah-1g-cobra-late-production/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hawkwrench Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Nice. Someone oughta do a comparison review with the old Revell kit. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 (edited) ICM has announced the Late Model AH-1G is also in process now. It should be nice as well. Most of the parts for it are already on the early sprues shown above. It includes the later "toilet bowl " exhaust deflector and 20mm cannon mount. It should be an easy update and hopefully available soon. https://aeroscale.net/news/in-process-icm-1-32-ah-1g-cobra-late-production Edited May 14, 2021 by HeavyArty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted May 26, 2021 Author Share Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) Third Cobra release will have crew figures. A bit underwhelming, I had hoped they would be in the Vietnam era two-piece nomex flight suits and at least one would be wearing a chicken plate and survival gear. Did the one piece flight suits for Army pilots even appear during the war? Almost looks like they went with generic Army pilots so they could be used with later version Cobras as well. Maybe Norbert will come to our rescue.... Here is what a well dressed Cobra pilot wore (note the mighty M35 cannon and what appears to be a patched bullet hole aft of the canopy): Edited May 26, 2021 by 11bee Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HeavyArty Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 (edited) The 1/32 AH-1G Cobra (Late Production) and 1/32 US Helicopter Pilots (Vietnam War) figures are both supposed to be available this month (AUG). I am looking forward to seeing how they turn out. They should be nice based on their earlier Cobra. Edited August 10, 2021 by HeavyArty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
