Plastic model of the AH-1G Cobra attack helicopter

The photos show a 1:72 scale plastic model of the American AH-1G Cobra attack helicopter.

The AH-1G Cobra helicopter was used to cover airlifts, provide fire support for ground troops and scout helicopters. It first flight in 1965, entered service in 1967 and was immediately sent to Vietnam. It was also used in other armed conflicts. The AH-1G Cobra was withdrawn from use in the USA in 2001 and replaced by the AH-64 Apache helicopter.

The crew in the AH-1 Cobra consisted of two people sitting one behind the other. This arrangement allowed for the construction of a narrower fuselage, which was 0.965 meters (3.17 ft) at its widest point and was a more difficult target to hit.

The gunner sat in the front and operated the turret in the nose of the helicopter. Two weapons could be mounted in the turret. The helicopter, the scale model of which is in the photos, has a 6-barrel machine gun and an automatic grenade launcher in its turret.

There was a pilot at the back who also fired unguided rockets placed under the wings. However, the machine could be controlled from both seats, and both crew members were usually the pilots.
