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

Hobby Boss 1/72 AH-1F Cobra Attack Helicopter Kit

The Bell AH-1 Cobra is a defining attack helicopter design, featuring a tandem two-seat cockpit and a two-blade main rotor. Its maiden flight was on September 7, 1965 and it entered service in June 1967 as the "HueyCobra." The Cobra proved its value by providing direct fire support and escort for transport helicopters in combat operations.

Accurate Outline and Model Intent

This Hobby Boss 1/72 kit focuses on reproducing the Cobra's narrow fuselage and short wings with attention to overall form rather than large-scale interior detail. It is suitable for collectors who want an authentic external appearance in a compact display size.

Construction Advice and Display Outcome

Builders should plan for careful assembly and painting to bring out the machine's distinctive lines. With accurate finishing, the completed model makes a convincing exhibit of 1960s attack helicopter engineering.
