I'm planning to build Academy's 1/35 Cobra and portray it being transported on the trailer of a HET. I'm currently trying to locate some detail sets for it... but I was wondering if anyone here can point me to some pics of downed or damaged Cobra's?

This is the kit I plan on building.


Any help will be very much appreciated

Hello Hisham
I think it will be very hard to fins pictures of downed/damaged Sea Cobra, ifound few pictures of old versions that might give you some direction.

I think that you can build your model as normal and reason for it being transported by HET is mechanical fauilure, or maybe transmision damage from enemy machine gun fire.

Anyway this will be veery cool project to watch.





or maybe just simple transport/stowage mode:
