Here are some shots of a cobra I did a while ago thought some one may want to see it.

That looks great, Doug. Very neat and tidy. I wish I could work like that!

The realistic rotor droop is good too. That is so often missed on models.

veeeery nice.

Any build up photos? Your detailing in the engine bay and cockpit is very nice.

How do you achieve the rotor sag like that? I have the same kit waiting for time.

It looks very nice. The MRC/Academy (also reboxed by Italeri and AFV Club) AH-1W Cobra builds up nicely. It is 1/35 though, not 1/32. You have done a good job of adding details to the cockpit and engine as well. A great model.

Great looking Super Cobra!
The "office" and the painting are outstanding.

Yes it is 1/35th sorry about that, and as far as in progress photos, again sorry but i did not have a camera when I built this one, sure is an easy kit ot build. As far as the rotor is concerned I simply pinned it at the hinge point and bent it just a touch to get the droop.
