Great!

I'm afraid you won't create those in 1/72, will you?

Thanks

If you only knew the pain it was to get right in 1/35th scale. LOL I'm afraid I will not do them in either 1/48th or 1/72nd scale.

Although 1/48th scale would be nice. Gary

question

besides the turned exhausts, arent there other mods that need to be done to convert the whiskey cobra to a Zulu?? I know the zulu has 4 rotor blades too. the zulu looks way beefier..

Yes, turned exhausts are not just on Z though...

The Zulu is a very different aircraft. It is almost completely different than a W. Just the turned exhausts are used on late model Ws though. This set is designed to make a W with turned exhausts.

About my beautiful babies

Currently any unit in the marine corps that has AH1W models still will have this exuast upgrade, its a fairly new one but a "TD" such as that is changed rapidly through the airwing. I am with HMLA-773 we have not gotten the new Zulus yet, but we fly AH1w I love them so much, they are remarkable aircraft. I am looking for a resin kit of the Cobra Engine if anyone has made one for the Academy kit, I want to buy this kit and make it as detailed as possible. If anyone knows any links where I can find more resin parts for this kit let me know, I will surely be getting this exuast resin.

new ALE pods

you would not happen to know if any one has made a resin kit for the new Dual ALE pods for the stub wings and if not can you make them? if you need a reference of the new pod I can send you a bunch of pictures. as of the exuast change they started changing the old exuast out in 2006 and is now complete through the marine corps.

thank you
