Cobra Question
Posted by jrgardner88 on Wednesday, November 25, 2009 8:11 PM

Was a 1/24 Huey Cobra Gunship ever produced? I could have sworn there was one, but with senility taking its toll I'm lucky to remember where I live. The old 1/24 Monogram UH-1B Huey Chopper is still around, did they ever make a cobra in the same scale? Thank you for any help.

I've never ever heard of one.  Perhaps you were recalling the 1/32 Monogram/Revell one?

I could have sworn it was 1/24th; it was the exact size of box the Huey UH-1B came in. But this was over 40 years ago, bought the kit from a hobby shop going out of business, the writing was on the wall even back then.

Never been one in 1/24, biggest is either Revell's 1/32, or MRC's 1/35, but the Revell one is the only Vietnam era bird in a larger scale.

WOW!  You can remember back 40 years!  You must not be in the "50's" yet!  Heh, heh! 

The guys are right, only large plastic model of the Cobra was the Revell 1/32 that I know about back in the late 60's.

Clear Left!
