This is a Hasegawa kit AH-1S Cobra, 1/72nd scale. It's the Japeanese version, but I added US Marine decals to make it an early version AH-1S. The Kit itself is quite good, with all parts fitting very very well. My only regret here is that I didnt take more photos of the model in its contstruction stage. ![click to enlarge](https://wings92.tripod.com//sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/halves.jpg)
Here I have the two halves put together and checking the seam lines with gray primer. ![click to enlarge](https://wings92.tripod.com//sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/wash.jpg)
