Avid Collectors Will Not Want to Miss Out on
the Fantastic AH-1 Sea Cobra Model Helicopter
We bring you the AH-1 Sea Cobra Model Helicopter that is
finely handcrafted using the best materials to produce a quality
outcome that matches the original keyword. Our AH-1 Sea Cobra Model
Helicopter is brought to life by a talented team who works hard to
make it look as realistic as possible. First it is handcrafted by
master craftsmen, followed by several priming and sanding processes.
Gifted artists then refer to images to paint on the details to match
those of the actual AH1. A final coat of clear lacquer not only
protects the details, but also provides a glossy finish.
The AH1 Cobra Model Helicopter goes through many stages of
quality control to ensure that it is ready for delivery. The AH1
Cobra Model Helicopter is mounted on a mahogany-based chrome
pedestal, so you can display it as soon as it arrives. Our AH1 Cobra
helicopter model, a scaled mirror image of the actual AH-1, makes a
perfect addition to your collection or gift to aviation enthusiasts
and hobbyists.
AH-1G Cobra History:
The AH-1G Cobra was developed by Bell featuring a new wide bladed
rotor and slim fuselage that gave it twice the speed of the UH-1B or
Huey. The Cobra aircraft is armed with 2.75 inch Folding Fin Aerial
Rockets and a chin turret on the M28/M28A1 armament subsystem. The
AH-1G Cobra or Snake was first set up on September 1967 in Vietnam.
The principal mission of the AH-1G was to give fire support to troop
carrying Hueys.
During the Vietnam War the AH-1G Cobra was used in a lot of
missions from armed escort and reconnaissance to fire suppression
and aerial rocket artillery. The AH-1G Cobra was always paired with
an unarmed OH 6A Cayuse Loach or OH58A Kiowa light observation
helicopter or a UH-1H Night hawk. The AH-1G Cobra was also equipped
with Cobra Night Fire Control System or CONFICS and the Southeast
Asia Multi Sensor Armament Subsystem for Huey Cobra or SMASH to
provide the AH-1G with the capability of detecting, identifying and
targeting ground targets during day or night operations.
The AH-1G is one of the high performance attack helicopters in
history. Some of the specifications of AH-1G Cobra are as follows:
for the crew, the helicopter allows one pilot and one CPG; its
length is 44 ff and 5 inches, rotor diameter is 44 ft, height is at
13 ft and 5 inches, weight when empty is 6,073 pounds, maximum take
off weight is 9,500 pounds, power plant is 1x AVCO Lycoming T53L-13
turbo shaft, and the rotor system has 2 blades.
