1/72 Italeri AH-1W Super Cobra

--------------------

 

This is one of my latest models. I can say it is built mostly OOB with just a few replacements.  I replaced tail leg under the tail rotor with a kind of wire, because it was too fragile, and I made some anti-aircraft gun bullet holes. I didn't have any problems building this kit, all parts fit very precisely together, so I finished with that in a few hours.

Painting was an enamel MM flat light ghost grey/medium grey combination, for exhaust I used MM metalizer, and finished the model with humbrol matt cote.  For weathering effect I used the post shading technique on the panel lines by mixing some humbrol matt cote, thinner and a few drops of flat black color.

This is the first model that I decided to display on Aircraft Resource Center and I hope you'll like it!
