This latest release
from Werner's
Wings gives you everything you need to model the current
configuration for the AH-1W.
The AH-1W went into service with the
USMC in 1985. Four Squadrons of Super Cobras were involved in the push
into occupied Kuwait in 1991where they proved they were an effective anti-armor
weapons platform.

The set includes 5 resin parts which you will need
to build the current configuration for the AH-1W. One of the parts is the
driveshaft cover for the left side of the AH-1W, which will give you some added
detail in the engine compartment area.
You get 2 pages of instructions
showing you with photos where to cut your kit to accommodate this conversion
set. The instructions also include a variety of detail photo of the real
AH-1W to help you in the conversion process. The main part has raised
rivets to match the kit parts. The screens on top are not as clear as I
would like and I would be tempted to replace them to get really crisp clean
detail.
This conversion set will be a big
help to anyone wanting to current
configuration for the AH-1W and I'm glad to see Werner's Wings has gone to the
effort to release this set.
You can purchase these and other
fine resin detail items directly from Werner's
Wings website.
I would like to
thank Werner's
Wings for
providing me with this review sample.
