A plastic model that requires assembly and painting. Separate tools, paint, etc. are required.
Product introduction 1/72 scale plastic model. The Bell AH-1S Cobra is an attack helicopter designed to support ground forces. The Cobra series was developed from the UH-1 Iroquois during the Vietnam War. The main improvements over the Iroquois are concentrated in the front fuselage. The front area of the Iroquois's fuselage was reduced to approximately 1/3, the pilot and gunner were placed in tandem, and stabilizer wings were added to both sides of the fuselage to enhance stability during high-speed flight and provide a platform for mounting missiles, rockets, etc. I am using it as. The main rotor is a door-hinged rotor, which increases the speed and maneuverability of the aircraft. The basic armament is the Emerson TAT102 turret mounted on the model, which is either a 7.62mm machine gun or a 20mm machine gun, and the nose turret linked to the shooter's helmet allows for highly accurate shooting. In addition, since it flies at low altitude and at relatively low speed, it is easily attacked by enemies, so the cockpit is equipped with bulletproof equipment. The Cobra series is mainly used by the US Army and Marine Corps, and the types and shapes are different between the Army and Marine Corps. This is an army specification AH-1S Cobra. The engine of this type has been replaced with a Lycoming T53-L-703 turboshaft engine, and the power transmission device has been strengthened to accommodate the increased output of the engine. In addition, the increase in output gave room for armament loading capacity. It is heavily armed with a maximum armament load of 8 TOW missiles, 38 rockets, a 20mm triple cannon in the nose, and 760 bullets. (From Discovery Japan Mall) Safety Warning Not applicable
