Dave Roof Posted December 21, 2018 Author Share Posted December 21, 2018 I was fortunate to have worked with Academy on the 1/32 F/A-18C/D, the 1/32 F-16C and the 1/48 CH-53E and CH-46E. I've reached out to my POC and received a response. Will do my absolute best to push the Yankee and a new Whiskey.

LSP_K2 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I checked, and the majority of my Cobra references are generic, covering many variants vs just specifically the Z. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Howie Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 That is one hell of an awesome looking Cobra. Some 40 years on we still await a great Vietnam Cobra where it made its name and established its reputation. Would still love by far to see a Vietnam bird covered in nose art at some point...

They're way too short. The Master Model barrels are almost dead on accurate. Out2gtcha and 32tragic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Mike Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 and can be drilled out and look just fine, I suspect. Good note Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Mike Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I'd like to see a Vietnam era Cobra to this standard, and... ...a Ch-46, which I am surprised is not released, especially since there is a -47. David66 and Darren Howie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is: because it's new? adameliclem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
