The Marmo Method Modelbuilding Guide #8: Building The Revell 1/32 scale Bell AH-1G Cobra in a Viet Nam Vignette

by Richard Marmo

Overview

The Bell AH-1G HueyCobra, universally referred to as the Cobra, was the first modern helicopter designed specifically as a gunship. Revell released a very nice, 1/32nd scale AH-1G in 1967 that was state of the art at that time. Unbelievably, it is still the only kit of the original Cobra configuration that has ever been produced in an injected kit in this scale. There are a couple in 1/48th, but they fall far short of Revell's effort.
