I have the Revell AH-1F and the Italeri AH-1W Cobras both in 1/48 but I'm looking for AM items to spruce them up as they will sit along side the new Kittyhawk AH-1Z when done.
So I've checked all the normal sources without success for AM for these two, so I turn to you all for advice on any AM that may be out there. I know the Cobra company do some bits but not for these two kits and ordering from them to this side of the pond is a bit of a pain.

Cobra Company & Werner Wings do both. Also Armycast or Isracast do AM. CMK has updates. Try Squadron mail order or

Thanks Todd, looks like I'll have to try Cobra for the F and Werner for the W. Couldn't see anything on Armycast, Isracast or CMK's websites for any Cobras.

Actually it is more the other way around. Werner's Wings has lots of stuff, all that you'd need, for the AH-1F. The Cobra Company can hook you up for the W.
Werner's Wings is working on a Marine Cobra sheet but that is still being developed. Also there is some stuff coming out from WW that you may find interesting for both the W and the Z. I can't tell you just yet but I will release them at the IPMS/USA Nationals in Columbus and have them on sale when I return.

Thank you Floyd, sorry my mistake Cobra for the W and you for the F. I'll keep my eyes peeled for your new decals for the W.

Todd, I've checked both Armycast and Isracast websites and neither have anything listed in 1/48 for the AH-1 Cobra. If you have seen these else where could you post a link?
Regarding Werners Wings, since my last post I have ordered and received several items from Floyd.
