Hasegawa 00535 - 1/72 AH-1S Cobra Helicopter U.S. Army Model Kit for Scale Builders  [HA-00535]

Hasegawa 00535 1/72 AH-1S Cobra - Scale Model Overview

This Hasegawa 00535 1/72 scale kit reproduces the AH-1S Cobra, a compact yet distinctive U.S. Army attack helicopter. The kit is aimed at hobbyists who enjoy a precise build and want an authentic small-scale representation of a widely recognised combat aircraft.

Why the AH-1S Appeals to Modellers

The AH-1S Cobra, an evolution of the Bell AH-1 series, served as a frontline attack helicopter with a slim fuselage and focused armament. This kit captures the aircrafts silhouette and rotor geometry, letting builders recreate a historically recognisable machine with attention to profile and surface detail.

Build Notes and Display Use

At 1/72 scale the model balances fine detail with a manageable footprint. Parts are precision-moulded and need careful trimming and glue work. Once painted and finished the model fits neatly into mixed-era display scenes or a rack of rotary and fixed wing types.
