The Cobra was introduced during the Vietnam conflict as a result of the Army needing an advanced and dedicated gunship for anti-tank warfare. The AH-1S variant was the most technologically advanced gunship until the 1970s when the twin engine Cobras were commissioned.

The Cobra like the Huey is a favorite among modelers as it is simply easier to fly with the two blade rotor system that is completely scale. The size of the Cobra fuselage and the fact that it is designed for gasoline or turbine power makes this an ideal fuselage to add all the scale detailing like the cockpit, battery compartment and weaponry. It should be noted that the front turret gun, tow launch tubes and tow missiles need to be scratch built by the modeler and are not included. While each modeler decides how much detail is added, our gallery section displays a fine example of a Cobra that has been built using gasoline mechanics. New modelers should be aware that between opening your new AH-1S Cobra fuselage box and finishing the model can take between 3 to 12 months, depending on how much time you can commit to building and finishing.
