About product

The AH-1Q/S Cobra attack helicopter in 1:32 scale

A large kit of the anti-tank version of the famous Cobra, released by the Czech maker Special Hobby in the Tank Hunter edition. 1:32 scale is fairly rare for helicopters and the finished model has a size to match: the slender fuselage, the tandem crew positions and the external stores under the short wings all show well on it.

The real subject

The Cobra was the first production helicopter designed from the outset as a combat machine, with a crew of two sitting one behind the other in a narrow fuselage. The version designated Q came about by converting older machines for guided anti-tank missiles and their guidance system; the follow-on S version brought a more powerful engine and further changes that made the Cobra above all a tool for fighting armored hardware. Machines of this generation served with the United States Army and with other users long after the end of the war in Vietnam.

Building and painting recommendations

The inside of the cockpit is visible through the extensive glazing on the Cobra, so give it time before you close the fuselage up. Mask the glazing with precisely cut tape or with a ready-made set of masks. Leave the rotor blades until the end and fit them only onto a painted fuselage. The dark olive finish of the hardware of that time comes alive when you lighten it in the middle of the large areas and unify the transitions with a thin coat of thinned paint.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of attack helicopters in a large scale
  • Modelers with a taste for American Cold War hardware
  • Builders who like to work the cockpit through
  • Experienced modelers looking for a striking display case piece

The package contains a kit to be assembled and painted. Glue and paints are not enclosed, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

Both follow on from the earlier rendition and bring equipment for guided anti-tank missiles. The S version added a more powerful engine and further changes for fighting armored hardware.

It is not very widespread; among aircraft models you meet it mainly on larger projects. The advantage is room for detail, the drawback the demands on space in a display case.

The extensive glazing. It pays to finish and paint the inside before the fuselage is closed up, and to set aside quiet time and good light for masking the glazing.

They are not necessary, but with large glazing they save a lot of time and the result tends to be sharper than masking by hand with tape.
