SPECIAL ISSUE SNAKE

SPECIAL ISSUE SNAKE

Czech kit and aftermarket manufacturer Special Hobby has teamed up with Ukrainian firm ICM to release a special hi-tech version of the latter’s splendid 1/32 AH-1G Cobra attack helicopter.

Special Hobby 1/32 AH-1G

This upgraded package (SH32082) is due for release in October, with the styrene parts augmented by CMK’s resin items for the crew seats, turret gun barrels and ground handling wheels plus a busy photo-etched brass fret, which will offer further refinement. New decals will be included, along with a set of pre-cut self-adhesive canopy masks.

It will mean that by late 2021/early 2022, Special Hobby will have a kit of the Cobra in each of the three major aircraft scales, as the existing 1/72 products (see p64 for a build of the recent re-release) will be joined not just by this 1/32 offering, but also a newly tooled 1/48 AH-1G.
