AH-1S Cobra Chopper ‘Kisarazu Special 2013’

Hasegawa Hobby Kits’ new AH-1S Cobra Chopper ‘Kisarazu Special 2013’ is a chopper with some serious chops.  Just one look and you’ll soon come to realize that is one whirly bird that has some serious ordinance and firepower that you don’t want to mess with

It may be decorated and painted up to look innocent enough but behind those bright colors, flashy type and adorable Manga/Anime figures is enough firepower to take out any opposition.

The Limited Edition, 1:72 Scale Chopper takes some serious chops to put together.  This ain’t no novice model maker model!  A steady hand and an eye for detail are required when it comes to gluing, painting and decaling this baby.

The AH-1S Cobra Chopper was developed for the Japanese during the Vietnam War. It’s a ground-weapon helicopter with front-end modifications where the pilot and front gunner sit in tandem.  

Side wing stabilizers, door hinge rotor and Emerson turret with machine gun or cannon make it true predator of the sky.  Heavy armor and a more powerful engine allow the Cobra to withstand light firepower attacks and maintain higher speeds and carry a heavier payload. All this and it looks great too!

Nine part trees come in the model box along with a full sheet of colorful decals.  Assembly, paint and decal instructions make putting the model together easy when strictly adherred to.

Parts detach easily from the part trees with little or no flashing, decals apply smoothly with little fuss and gluing is made more precise when instructions are followed.
Isn’t it time you got some ‘chops’?
