What scale and version of the Cobra are you looking for? There are several versions out there.
F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!
U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!
N is for NO SURVIVORS...
- Plankton

I have no ideal what size . I only finished one 1/24 scale and working now on 1/35 scale .

How about variant? There are G, J, Q, S, T, W, Z, E, & F variants of the AH-1. Not all are available in kits, or all scales.
The best larger scale cobra kit OOB is the 1/48 Revell/Monogram AH-1F kit. It's cheap, accurate and readily available.

How about the 1/35 Whiskey Cobras from MRC/Academy. Those are pretty sweet too!
I'm not as enamored with the 1/35 scale Whiskeys as some. For one thing, they have dimensional issues (too short) and none are correct for the NTS Whiskeys, including the "NTS" kit. I am building one now though so we'll see how it goes.
How far off are they dimensionally? Are we talking a mm or two, or some serious size discrepancies?
Well, if you are looking to build the bird in that link, and you want big scale, the only AH-1G in 1/32 is Revell's. You will need Cobra Companies resin cockpit set for sure. They have a great XM-35 Mini Gun set as well, and I highly recommend Fireballmodelworks decals. I do not know who makes a smaller scale AH-1g.

Ask me about Speedway Decals
thank you
In 1/72 there is the very old, but still nice Monogram G. I want to say that Hasegawa & Matchbox also may have done a G as well in braille scale. In 1/48 there is no good G model out there. A late model G can be made by kit bashing using one of each of the Fujimi J & S kits. But the 1/48 G kits out on the market for the past 45 years or so are BAD.
Look on Ebay. I just saw a few on there.
thanks rick
Also is it me . when I want a model .. It cost me .
Or am I in this game at a wrong time and date ?
I want a dragon huey .To exp. and not available. I went with the revell 1/24 . I was really happy with it
We went to Fort Campbell Kentucky .

This is why I like to get this model ..LOVED IT
Here is a Heuy my wife took with me
If that's the Cobra type that you want, the Monogram kit ( currently released under the Revell label ) is just what you need.

Yep, that's it. Any 1/48 Revell/Monogram AH-1F will be this same kit. As I said before, it's cheap, accurate and readily available. Not many 1/48 kits have those attributes.
stikpusher How far off are they dimensionally? Are we talking a mm or two, or some serious size discrepancies?
Serious size/shape/detail issues IMHO. A few mm here and there, even in 1/35 scale, can add up quickly. For example, the engine compartment is 4-5mm too short; that is almost 15% and results in it being more of a square then a rectangle. Some of the issues are discussed here:

Like Ray said above, even the latest "update" has issues. Namely an NTS release that doesn't include the NTS!
