Lookin' for aftermarket for 32nd scale Cobra and 35th scale Huey...

Heya, Folks,

I’ve just nabbed one of the “new” old 1/32nd AH-1G Cobra kits for a good price on ebay…

Going to be ordering aftermarket canopies from Floyd W. and thereafter, the cockpit and 20mm kits from Cobra Company…

I thought I read somewhere that someone made a Strella suppression kit for the Cobra’s exhaust? Is this true? Anything else out there? And does anyone make after market decals for this kit or for that matter the 35th scale Panda/Dragon UH-1D Huey kits…?

And is it me or would a newly-tooled 35th scale AH-1G sell like crazy…?

Thanks folks.

Regards and Much Aloha,

Johnny B.

The Anti-Strella kit and decals are both made by Joseph Osborne of Fireball Modelworks. They are great products. I have used them and I highly recommend them both. Joseph is a great guy to do business with as well. He has a new 1/32 Huey set that came out recently and another coming soon.

What Gino said.

Floyd’s canopies, Cobra Company’s resin, and Fireball Modelworks’ decals certainly complete the trifecta of AH-1G modelling perfection!

Much appreciated… Looks like that’s the route I’ll be taking. I still think it’s a cryin’ shame that MRC has not produced a G model Cobra in 35th scale…

Just got back from the Miramar Air Show today… Got to see loads of great helicopters and fixed wing assets (not to mention Marine Abrams and LAV-25s) on the ground and in action — lots of fun!

Thanks again, Guys!

Regards and Aloha,

Johnny B.
