cobra

In 1/48 all the Cobra kits of the original Snake, the AH-1G, are as old as the Cobra itself. All from the late 1960s early 1970s. There was a kit from AHM/Fujimi, another from Aurora, and one from Lindberg (possibly acquired from one of those companies). Of the later Cobras in 1/48, Revellogram makes a good Army TOW Cobra AH-1S/AH-1F, and then Fujimi did the AH-1S Step II/ AH-1E, as well as the Step III/ AH-1F.  Fujimi does the only AH-1J in 1/48. For a AH-1T, AH-1W, or AH-1Z in 1/48 Italeri is the only game in town right now. BUT... Kitty Hawk is coming out with a new tool proper AH-1Z real soon

Ill have to keep look out for that new one and check the italeri one out I have many photos from those days of them flying over my house.

I got lucky their in storage and didn't burn in my house. I remember watching one go into a attack dive above are ranch most impressive for a 12 yr old to see up close. He was only a few hundred feet away at the end of his dive.

If you were at Ord during the 80's the Monogram kit (currently re issued by Revell) would be the Cobra version you saw so much of there at that time.

Normally people that call that base Ord or planet Ord where stationed there. ?

If it's in 1/48 I'll be scooping it along with there huey transport / medavac. I seen that 1 at arts and craft store.

Lol! Planet Ord... I have not heard that one in many years... I was never stationed

there, but I have been on that piece of ground a few times over the years...
