AH-1 Cobra Attack Helicopter

Had this one done a while, I've different weapons configurations I'm still swapping around and working on so I'm sure there will be updates and additions to the design later on. This will go nicely next to my Huey and Cayuse in future photos. I might update this photo later with a better photo.

 

Again dark green was tough to build with at this scale but that's the challenge I guess. Pilots doors open out same as the real thing in opposite ways and i can't recal anybody else doing something like this on a Lego canopy. Glad I managed to get the Cav markings in on the tail as it's those details I enjoy the most and ties this in nicely with my old M113 APC where I first used it years ago.

 

I encourage others to try out building some Nam models as there are some really cool vehicles/boats and aircraft.

 

I'm going to start adding lists of songs listened to when building particular models, not on loop but quite often.

 

The Rolling Stones- Paint it Black

The Rolling Stones- Gimme Shelter

Johnny Cash- The man comes around

Credence Clearwater Revival-Bad moon rising.
