I have the AFV Club AH-1W Super Cobra Taiwan version on my shelf and I want to build it as a US Marine Corps helicopter. Do you think the model is the same. Is the model ok for these decals:
Twobobs decals do say that it will fit on Academy/MRC AH-1W Super Cobra kits and I thinkl the AFV Club one is a reboxing of the old Academy. Am I right?
You are correct on all accounts. The AFV Club kit is a reboxed Academy AH-1W with a few added resin and metal parts to replace some of the plastic ones. It will build into a Marine AH-1W straight from the box.
Good luck.
Cool! Now I have to buy the NTS conversion kit and the Twobobs decals. Man that hobby is expensive.[;)]
Thanks HeavyArty
Kind of.
It will build an early AH-1W, but not the one depicted in the TwoBobs decals. Still need the CC NTS conversion.
Never said it would build up to a current or late model AH-1W NTS, neither will the Academy snake. The kit is an early AH-1W. The older Two Bobs “Whiskeys in the Mix” sheet has decals for ODS-era, non NTS snakes too.
The first post asked if the model was ok for the decal sheet he posted (latest TwoBob hi-vis), so technically, the model does need the CC update for that particular decal sheet. I was just aiming to clarify.
Don’t worry, Gino, you know I’m never trying to bust your balls here [;)]

No problem. My cannonballs are unbreakable. Just keeping everything straight.
