Nest of Vietnamese Cobra Hatchlings for Special Hobby 72nd Scale AH-1G x4 Build

[Sharkmouth]

Since I have four, still deciding on the fourth scheme as there are so many!

The teeth here are so crowded that I am reminded of the plastic vampire teeth of my youth!

Yikes! Bill O'Brian's The Widow Maker:

Saber toothed!

What brand of spray can is this?

Probably some government issue can of paint that cost 10 times what it would have cost from the woolworths back then. Looks a pretty good match from here!

Testors OD is a good match. The ships with the wild eye are from the 25th Aviation. They were across the runway from us at Cu Chi. Gary S.

I did find that I had a pair f Miniguns from Miniworld. They are EXPENSIVE! Yet, sublime with open barrels!

All the Special Hobby kits had their intakes replaced.

Here, we see why... Resin on kit, original next to it and the revised intake from their AH-1S kit (without vanes) also shown.

There you go! Now was that so hard?

Well, I intentionally posted the small ones instead of my progress on the big ones! There is actually more done as these, like the large scale kits, all had to have the pilot's port console lowered.
