Starfighter84 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) Hello to all! After 11 months of work I can finally declared ended my last project: an israeli AH-1 Cobra (Tzefa). This is the old Revell/Monogram kit dated 1986 with a lot of scratchbuilt details. Some parts are made by 3D printing, others are home made turned brass (like the cannon's drum, the M-197 barrels are from Master). I also used the Isradecal conversion and decal set. The viper on both sides of the model is painted, like the stars of David. The positive rivets come from the Archer transfer sets, the disco ball IR jammer from Fireball Modelworks. Painted with Tamiya, Gunze and AK Real color, washing made by oil colors. Hope you'll enjoy. Cheers from Rome! Valerio.

kurnass77 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Hi Valerio, very happy to see a new masterpiece from you!!! I'm glad you continue to be interested in IAF planes; time ago I build a Peten using the Archer rivets, expensive but the final result worth the money.Now I'm in the finale (hope) stage of a Baz build We still need to met for a coffee...maybe by Hobby House? Again superb work. Do you have a link to a WIP? I always enjoy and learn from your build and I've a HB Tzefa in my stash,so.... Gianni Quote Link to post Share on other sites
