Hobby Boss 87224 - 1/72 AH-1F Cobra Scale Model Helicopter Kit Vintage Attack Helicopter  [HB-87224]

Hobby Boss AH-1F Cobra 1/72 Plastic Scale Kit

The AH-1 Cobra, developed by Bell, stands as a milestone in rotary wing combat design. Noted for its tandem two-seat cockpit and a two-blade main rotor, the Cobra first flew on September 7, 1965 and entered service in June 1967 as the "HueyCobra." Its use in the Vietnam conflict redefined helicopter escort and close air support roles.

Scale Precision and Detail Focus

The Hobby Boss 1/72 model captures the Cobra's slim fuselage and twin stub wings with fine-moulded parts. Intended for display and study, this kit aims to reproduce the aircrafts basic lines and balance of form, making it a solid choice for modellers who appreciate historically based assembly work.

Assembly Notes and Display Tips

This kit is aimed at experienced builders who value accurate shapes and construction detail. Careful gluing and painting are required to bring out cockpit and airframe features, and the finished model makes an authoritative display piece that reflects mid 20th century helicopter design.
