These are two helicopters I got finished up today.

This first one is the 1/72 scale Hasegawa AH-1s Cobra. It was supposed to be done as a US Army bird but when I shot the OD over it I lost track of which was which. Oh well, they are both the same helicopter so it doesn't matter. I did this one as an Israeli Cobra:

This next one is the 1/72 scale Hobby Boss AH-1S Cobra and this one is done up as a US Army bird:

These aren't the best pics. I do need to re-shoot these. I'll try to get better ones tomorrow when I can figure out why my camera is acting up.

Thanks all for looking in, comments are welcome.

Couple of good looking Cobras! Did you find one of them to be a better kit or build compared to the other?

Nice job Duke. One of my favorite helos.

 

Now, get to the chopper (hard to type like Arnold).

Thanks for the great replies guys! Most appreciated.

 

Gil, it was a tossup. The Hobby Boss kit was easy to assemble and had soft enough plastic to fit better. The Hasegawa kit was a bit tougher with a few more parts and more hard plastic. I do like the Hasegawa kit's detail better though; it seems a bit more refined. The Hobby Boss decals were far better though; Hasegawa's took forever to loosen up for application!

 

Bill, I'm on my way.... :helo_army17:
