I’ve got the same one in my stash. Keep us posted with any issues. I’m looking forward to seeing your build. 20 kits? Not a bad “problem” to have.

Cobras are always cool! Great work here. Helicopter is another thing I'm going to have to try out sometime.

Now you are TALKING! I haven't stopped thinking about this one and I went ahead to add Cobra but in 1/35 on my wish list. You did an amazing job on your Cobra that I dream of it every night. I know there's plenty of guys who enjoy whirly builds so I have been thinking about hosting mini GB in late 2024 if we have enough interest. I have about 5-6 kits in my stash too. Also I had too much fun building 3 copters for last ten years so I am overdue to build one.

This Cobra is pretty sharp! I like the shade of green used and how detailed the cockpit is. Great job!

I saw this last night after I got home and got busy putting Christmas decorations up with my wife and didn't come back to the forum till this morning but DANG!!! This is cool right here Dave. Being an ex Huey crewchief, I have a deep appreciation and love for this airframe and you've done a great job on it. Beautiful work bud.

Cobras are always cool! Great work here. Helicopter is another thing I'm going to have to try out sometime. Thank you. This was the first helicopter I've built since I was about 10 years old. Let's just say, that was a "couple" of season ago. My "out of character" build will be a ship. I've got a couple in the stash that I've built up a lot of goodies for.

Depends on the time frame. There's a CH-54, AH-64, AH-1Z, and they are all 1/35.

This Cobra is pretty sharp! I like the shade of green used and how detailed the cockpit is. Great job! Thank you kindly. I used Mission Model paints. I've heard they have a bad rap. They are actually quite nice to work with and weather beautifully. There were a few 3D printed parts in this kit. The gunners sight, helmets, extinguisher are just a few of them.

Being an ex Huey crewchief, I have a deep appreciation and love for this airframe and you've done a great job on it. Beautiful work bud. Thank you kindly for the high praise from someone who had hands on with the birds. I have to get my decorations up today! We have an inflatable "Island of Misfit Toys" that brings my wife no small amount of joy. I NEED to get that up and running today.

That's an awesome looking Cobra. I'd be up for a GB as well. I have the AH-1Z and UH-1Y in the stash.

Awesome! That’s five of us already. We will keep that in mind and make a formal announcement in late spring so it can launch on July 1st or maybe in the fall.
