Anyone have any info on this kit? Is it any good as far as detail, accuracy? Its a AH-1S(at least it says it is) but looks to me more like a ECAS bird. I just dont want to buy something Im never gonna build cause it wasnt what I was looking for.

I have one in the stash, Ill pull it out and look at it. IIRC its an ECAS which is why I got it, I want the whole lineage from Model 209 to Zulu. Actually the POS Lindberg kit can be made into a passable Model 209 if you change out about 95% of the kit and use the fueselage.

After sitting in the full size Cobra ( I was with 2/3rd AHB in '87) and comparing the full size machine to the plastic, and finding almost all switches in place (other than some of the radio panels being moved around) I’m curious what you consider the best out there other than the CC aftermarket?
Im hard pressed to come up with better plastic than a Mono cockpit. I throw the others away and use castings of the Monogram pit as my basis for building other cockpits.

Dave,
ever have one o those days when you just could’nt get N1 above 10% ??
Your absolutely right re; Monogram cockpits and their flexability. I guess being in the middle of an Italeri T model and CC-48008 kit left me predisposed a bit. I’ll stand down and sit in the corner till recess !! torq
Good to go!
Ill catch up with you when I head to the Nats in August!
