Welcome from another former squid!!! (Hospital Corpsman)
The only AH-1G that shows up is a Revell kit, but I think I built this in my 20’s and it wasn’t too bad… small seam gaps but nothing severe… it’s at www.squadron.com

BUT I just noticed Fujimi is coming out with one and my limited experience with Fujimi has been positive… they are taking pre-orders for it at www.greatmodels.com…
good luck and welcome aboard!!!
Welcome to the Forums! Happy modeling!
Hi there seastallion [#welcome] to the FSM forums, enjoy your stay.
As for the Cobra you are out of luck in 1/48. About the only kit that I know of is Revell’s 1/32 thirty-year-old offering of the AH-1G Huey Cobra which was recently released under the Revell AG label. This kit is ok but will need a complete Cobra Company cockpit and some extra detailing to bring it up to scratch
Welcome!
