1/32 Aftermarket
Posted by rubaru on Monday, June 19, 2006 12:22 PM
Hi all...I'm looking for some aftermarket stuff for the exterior load-outs on Cobras.  I'm working on a conversion of the old Revell kit, and what I'd like to add to it is not included.  I'm specifically looking for the navigation stuff like FLIR, and weapons aren't necessary.  I'm not concerned with a great amount of detail on this model, as I'm going to attempt to make the paint scheme the highlight.  I'll post some pics when I'm done.

Go to www.cobracompany.com and check out the resin cockpit set and he has the 20 mm mod. set too.  I need to pick up one of each myself and do a job on the old Revell kit. 

Clear Left!

I'm trying to put together a version called the Firesnake.  It's a conversion of the G that is in use by a few of the state forestry services for fire suppression.  All I really need is the exterior add-ons like the FLIR or LANTERN systems that they employ for looking through the smoke to identify the exact locations of fires.  Obviously, no weapons systems needed Smile [:)]

Not sure which paint scheme I want to use, either.  I'm guessing I'll go with the day-glow orange set up much like a lot of the other fire service aircraft.  I've got a few pictures of one that is white with an orange nose and tail.  Should be an easy build if I can get the extra parts.

The Firesnakes I've seen have been converted F models, mostly.  Flat canopies and faired over nose turrets.  Don't know about them carrying FLIR and LANTIRN pods wouldnt' be carried by helos.  Got any pics of the one you're gonna build?
