Sissels Marine Cobra ** DNF **

[Sissel]

Another copter that's been in my stash for too long. Can't wait to start this.

Nice scheme on a nice model of a nice helicopter!

[Sissel]

I agree, it is very nice. Assembly looks a bit fiddly though. If the fit of all the body halves aren't good, there will be lots of sanding and filling.
I know nothing about the quality of this kit. Rather exciting.

[lancfan]

This should look very good when done.

Oh this takes me back. I remember butchering one of these when they first came out in 1988. Obviously before your time Sissel.

IIRC it was a good fitting kit. No idea how accurate it is though because I don't care.

Looking forward to this, what colour scheme are you planning?

[splash]

Nice choice, Italeri normally make good helicopter kits so it should be a good build.

[Sissel]

I will build the boxart version, OT. That's the only option.

[ShaunW]

Oh yes, a great fighting chopper Sissel. Hopefully it will behave and go together well for you.

[Sissel]

I hope it goes together well as well.

Obligatory sprue shot.

Two helicopters and a DB5 on the bench, it looks like you will be busy this month.

Regards Splash

[Sissel]

I have five kits, including one started, to build and finish this month before 22nd as model room is turned into guest room.
Six if you count the Spitfire I just put away.

I don't suppose you could post the paint scheme (and colours) could you? I have a Cobra and I don;t like the desert scheme. I think this looks a lot nicer.

Hmmm... what do I get in return??

I'm kidding. Offcourse, I'll send them to you tomorrow.

More Sissel. More cobra!

I built this kit when it first came out. No issues encountered. The cockpit has no side panels but it is not noticeable through the glass.
