ICM AH-1G Cobra (Early Production)
The finished cockpit. I cheated and used the Quinta Studios 3d decals.
Fuselage halves closed up. Quite a substantial amount of sanding and rescribing ahead, especially on the belly...
Wings and skids added. Seams taken care of (fingers crossed) and panel lines rescribed. Ready for a first coat of primer.
Basecoat & Hairspray chipping for wear&tear; Highlights; Decals.
Some of the details after oil paint rendering.
Canopy masks off
Just waiting for the final details – the armament and the 7.62 mm Gatling gun. The latter will be an aftermarket replacement as the one the kit provides really looks terrible.

The main rotor parts loook rather nice. A typical shortcoming on helicopter kits.

Great paint job and brilliant clear parts. I always like to see monochrome models that do not look toylike or dull. You definitely achieved that.

Album info
Modelling the Cobra - mostly out of the Box. Subject will be «Bearcat 15», the markings are provided for her in the kit. As I found out through the ARC Forum - where I also found some gorgeous reference photos: She is erroneously listed as a NETT (New Equipment Training Team) heli, but was in fact a Army Aviation Test Board aircraft.
