A pair of desert snakes

[centaur567]

I've had the kits for probably 20+ years. An ItaleriS AH-1Z kit was supplied to me in order to a review for IPMS. It was missing one of the engine air intakes.So I bought another kit to replace the missing part. I made a mold and made a new part which was intended for this kit. In the kit was also parts for the W model, which is what I inten to build now. One problem with the kit is the rotorhead. It turns in the wrong direction. The kit cockpit leaves a lot to be desired. I'm going to use a J model one from Cobra Co.
The other kit is Monograms AH-1F/S. I bought because I needed the disco light for an Apache model. I have since molded one from the Italeri kit. I'm also going to be using the particle separators and IR shields from Werner Wings.

That Monogram kit is a trip down memory lane.

These are the four schemes I'm considering. Gary S.

Ugh, stop it @centaur567, I already want a 1/48 Whiskey.....but have been resisting. You're not helping!


Of course we'll overlook the fact I've already acquired a set of decals.......

The F/S cockpit was assembled years ago. The W cockpit is mostly put together. Both collective levers are missing from the kit. I'll have to make those. Gary S.

This is a pair of Cobra's I built around 20 years ago with a lot of added detail. They are going to help a lot with this build as 3D references. Gary S.
