ice Still one of the best looking helicopter camouflages. I also like it on the CH-46 and the CH-53. You did a great job so far. 👍

Album info Revells AH-1W Cobra, ex-Italeri. Usable kit, some deep lines need to be filled, some parts are not very accurate, mostly built out of box, except of the gun (Master). Note that the main rotor of the kit turns in the wrong direction! Note also, that the exhaust system is of the prototype AH-1W, usually the Whiskeys had a different exhaust system (Lone Star Models have a correction set).
