Revell AH-1W Super Cobra

from the rear
the green number decal really threw off how I wanted to do this side
from above
from the front. weakened struts show just slightly. I braced them with bits of tiny tube but overall it's still fragile.
The port cheek and nose gun. The gun elevates and turns, I used wire to keep it in place and still mobile. I left off the sensors (dunno really) that were supposed to go on each cheek because I didn't want to mess up the teeth decals
Weaponry
I'm awful at photos but some of the cockpit detailing is visible
And same here, although blindly framed

Album info
Took longer than I expected. Counterweights in the nose caused the landing struts to break more than once. Yikes! First Helicopter kit I've ever done, as well. Basically just bought it to kill time while waiting for some Colourcoats paints to come in for some ship kits in the stash. No research, no scratch-building, just building the kit. In retrospect, the research is half the fun!
