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 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 carrying 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. High-precision shooting is possible with the nose turret linked to the shooter's helmet device. 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 engine has been replaced with a Lycoming T53-L-703 turboshaft engine, and the power transmission system has been strengthened to accommodate the increased output of the engine. The increase in power provides ample room for armament payload, with a maximum armament payload of 8 TOW missiles, 38 rockets, a 20mm triple cannon in the nose, and 760 bullets. The AH-1S is produced under license by Fuji Heavy Industries, and is also deployed as an anti-tank helicopter by the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force, forming anti-tank helicopter squadrons in combination with OH-6 helicopters in various locations including Hokkaido.
