There must be hope for me yet as we seem to build at the same speed and yours is coming along nicely! Can't wait to see her finished. Ray |

I really do consider myself to be extremly fortunate indeed !!! . I have a lot more spare time to build model aircraft than most of you guy's . Despite being "notorious" for having multiple builds going , I think I average one 1/72 scale Helicopter/ Aircraft kit per week . I certainly realize most modelers would be quite envious for someone to have that much spare time .
Anyway I saw a newer boxing/release of that Revell 1/35 AH-1G Cobra kit at the hobby store last week , it was priced at $76.00 . I nearly fell over when I saw the price ; I very quickly put it back on the shelf .
Earlier this year I picked up two 1/35 Academy AH-1 Cobra's for $30 each . There the only two 1/35 scale helo's in my stash , the bulk of my kit collection are 1/72 and a few 1/48 kits . For the price I thought they were good bargins . I probably won't get around to building them for at least another 4 years . I would hate to think what they would cost in the near future .
Anyway that Revell cobra looks like it's coming along nicely . Best of luck on the rest of the build and I hope you get to finish her in the not to distant future . I never grow tired of looking at my finished model Helicopters and Fighter Jets in the display cabinets . I certainly am one lucky modeler .
Kind regards John
