I just bought a kit of a AH-1W U.S MARINES SUPER COBRA .Made buy MRC 1/35 scale for $6.00 at a yard sale and still in the plastic rapper ,basicly brand new…Also is this kit any good ? Maybe a dumb question from an armor modeler …[:D]

Well…it’s obviously worth $6.00[:p]
Seriously, I would have bought it. Is it just MRC or MRC/Tamiya?

Eddie,
Have to say that for six bucks an ordinary 1/35 helo would be pretty good value. I’ve not built this particular kit but either MRC or MRC/Tamiya kits are better than most and bould build up to a nice replica.
Have fun with it.
Cheers,

Eddieperez,
The MRC Super Cobra is an EXCELLENT kit and originaly sold for over $20 … close to $30 if I recall. All of the MRC and MRC / Academy 1/35 Scale Helicopter kits are some of the best available. WELL worth $6 bucks.

I agree with Paul. I picked up a few of the MRC choppers when Toys R Us got out of the model selling business and clearanced them at $9.90 and $4.90.

MRC’s original 1/35 scale helicopter line included 8 different kits, 4 basic kits each done with 2 variations.
SeaCobra & Super Gold Cobra
MASH Chopper & USCG Chopper w/floats
OH-58D Black Death & Thugs
UH-1C Shark & Frog
