LSP_Ron Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Here is a build thread from Andy on the pending Academy AH-1Z Cobra kit. It does look really nice. I think I am up for one! TenSeven, Tomcatfreak, Pfuf and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collin Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 For sure a must buy. Can’t wait to see the aftermarket decals that could be made for the Zulu. Cheers Collin Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otis252 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Oh yeah, I'm in for at least a couple of those. Flying Leatherneck Decals already has a sheet in the works. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Roof Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 It's a beautiful kit. I received a test shot a few weeks ago and Academy really did an outstanding job on it. Fit is excellent and the details are nice and crisp. I have a sheet just about ready to go, but will more than likely add to it after my trip to MCAS Cherry Point and MCAS New River this week.

GMK Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Looking good. Isn’t it the “Viper”, not the “Cobra” now it’s the Z model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn M Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 oh I've been so excited for this to come out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dukie99 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I will definitely get one. I am currently building the Academy AH-W with the Verlinden detail set, master barrels and Werner Wing's vac canopy. The kit is showing its age and lack in détails but the fit is not bad and it has very nicely done positive rivets all over the fuselage. Looking forward to the Viper to display it next to the Whiskey. Shawn M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Why o why won't anyone offer a kit of the ultimate Cobra - the AH-1G? I gotta believe the market for that one would be substantially bigger than the one for the Zulu version. Dragon and Darren Howie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durangokid Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Looks like it's hitting the market, at least on ebay. Lists for $55 with free shipping... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dukie99 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I just bought one, received an e-mail this morning that it has shipped with an ETA end of March. Gotta finish the Whiskey first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could get me a walkaround of the pilot helmet, would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree the market now has plenty of grey helicopters where are the Vietnam Cobras adorned with stunning nose art you can weather to your hearts content? When they put out one of those ill buy 4 until then none. Ok maybe one...lol.. Dukie99 and John1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
