not an ordanery AH-1 Cobra 1/72

[piko1]

i know that it may seams a bit strange but i never liked the Cobra
but a month ago i was stunned by it's looks to be precise the G cobra not the modern W or even Z
the idea is what-if in yet again Bulgarian camo basic cheep new attack helicopter for the  Bulgarian Air Force but it needs to be modern
at the same time and easy to operate so here it go's 

adding on some new features ala the Experimental Bell 407

ohhh a fenestrom tail. You got my attention 

What cobra kit are you using

[piko1]

the kit is AZ Model AZ7418 good simple kit with some PE parts included in the kit 

[kerick]

That will be a nice change!

[Captain Canada]

Very cool. I've always loved the Cobra myself, and this can only make it look better !

[piko1]

how it looks so far i hate liquid masks

[kerick]

That tail blended in just right.
BTW, I've tried the liquid masking and didn't like it either. I still use plain old clear tape.

[piko1]

i stole the fenstrion of a Revell EC-135 in 1/72 ( we need a new ec-135 tool ) 
about the liquid mask i need to learn how to set it properly  and the removing is just ugh ...

[kerick]

When I looked at your first photo I thought you were going to use leopard spot camouflage on your cobra.

[KiwiZac]

Hooooooo wow, that fenestron looks like it was part of the kit! I'm loving this!

[DogfighterZen]

yep, that tail suits well, its shaping up really good! 

[Captain Canada]

Very nice. You're making it look too easy ! 

[Dizzyfugu]

Nice!

[piko1]

i'm glad that you boys like how the tail turned out it was not that easy to properly join the new rotor by the way
the length of the AH-1 tail with the Fenstrion is the same as the original rotor one
i think that i need a new gun something 30-mm shall do the job i was thinking about changing it to a single barrel gun but the  MASTER M197 - Three-barrelled rotary 20mm cannon is very tempting 

[Mossie]

That's a nice looking mod.   Are you planning a four blade rotor to go with it?
