Hi all. It's been a while since I last finished a model. Ok I admit, I didn't even start any. Anyways as a warm up tour I fixed this little Cobra. It is the old Matchbox 1/72 AH-1G. Didn't try too hard on it to be honest. It lacked the decals so I improvised them from other kits. I think it is the most beautiful chopper ever left a drawing board.....ok maybe it chalanges Gazelle but hey it is my opinion. Here we go, please do fire at will in sence of any comments... Oh and excuse me about the quality of the pics. I am left to the old camera.

Thanks a lot. I am planning to work slightly more on it. Sometimes you need time to simmer and see what else to do on a model:]

Looks good, Yalym. These old Matchbox models sometimes work into something very good. You have a very good faded look to the paint job.

Thanks for sharing
