I may have to keep half an eye on this one. Not normally my scale...but I've been known to go out of my norm from time to time.

My FAVORITE version of this snake!!!

You think those rivets are to scale? Seems big.

Perhaps a touch. I plan to flatten them a bit with a sanding pad.

Guess when you get a couple of layers of paint on it it'll be just right.

Oh my goodness!!! I may have to get this now!

 

[iambrb]

Hey what is the cost of this kit???

 

[Sharkmouth]

Damned information overload!

Kit needs these... used on all 'Nam Cobras...

Guns and pylons need some help too...

Climate control was different between early and later batches... This one is later (as per the kit):

This is earlier... no vent on port side fuselage is the easiest way to tell.

Pylons must have push away bars to deflect ejecting ordnance form hitting the skids.

I love those old TOs.

I'm super keen to get this kit too.

Saul, your info overload on this might just have me building one of these soon as well.

I actually think (and thank) @centaur567 has the information as I believe there is no better way to interpret what is seen in photos than asking someone who was there! Thanks Centaur 567! Did your Cobra have a sharkmouth?

@centaur567

Did you ever see the covers in place on a Cobra? I ask since I have an old Monogram kit which needs to have its canopy replaced (I didn't bother adding cockpit detail as I though I was going to cut it up for parts:
