Hasegawa AH-1S Cobra 1/72 scale J.G.S.D.F replica

This 1/72 injection-moulded kit reproduces the AH-1S Cobra used by the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force with attention to surface detail and cockpit features. It suits modellers who enjoy precise assembly and accurate military subjects.

Operational History and Modelling Interest

The AH-1S helped evolve attack helicopter tactics with a compact profile and effective weapons fit. This Hasegawa kit captures characteristic lines and makes a rewarding build for hobbyists interested in aviation history and engineering detail.

Assembly Tips and Display Potential

Parts are engineered for a clean fit, though careful trimming and accurate painting will lift the finished model. Applied decals and correct paint choices make this Cobra a standout on any shelf or in a themed diorama.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Injection-molded plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Required for finishing
Build time varies by skill, but allow several evenings for careful assembly and painting. Experienced modellers may finish faster, while newcomers should expect more time for prep and paint.
Use model-specific plastic cement for joints and fine brush or airbrush acrylic or enamel paints for the finish. Primer helps decals and paint adhesion.
The kit includes decals intended for the J.G.S.D.F finish. For greater accuracy, research reference photos to match weathering and insignia placement.
