It's not a common event when
the
Twobobs release a chopper decal sheet...so when they do it's worth
looking over. This decal sheets comes in 1/48 and 1/35....today
I'll review the 1/48 scale version of this decal sheet.
This decal set contains
markings for 13 different Cobras. They include some Desert
Storm Cobras with kill markings as well as the low viz gray Cobras with
various artwork. Two have big dark gray cobras painted on the side
of the fuselage. Another has nose art for a scantily clad angel.
Another has a sharks mouth....still another has a sharks mouth with one
of the teeth being gold in color.
There is one Cobra on this decal sheet that is quite interesting as far
as the nose art. That is the Cobra with the scantily clad Angel on
the nose. This particular Cobra was deployed to Afghanistan for
Operation Enduring Freedom.
The fact it had a
scantily clad female on it nose is an interesting footnote for me
considering the oppression of women in Afghanistan during the Taliban
regime.
Also included is a write
up describing the Cobra squadrons that were deployed to Operation Desert
Shield and later Operation Desert Storm.

The instructions are clear and
include 4 views of each aircraft. The decals are beautifully printed on 1
decal sheet with an additional inset decal sheet for the sexy noseart. Paint codes are called out in FS #'s, Testors MM,
Humbrol, Gunze Sangyo and Xtracrylics.
These decals are
printed by Microscale and the quality is first class as we've all come to
expect from the Two Bobs. There are 2 complete sets of stencils
included in this decal set. The variety of artwork and kill markings
included in this decal sheet is another strong point of course.
The decal sheet is proving
to be a very popular seller for Two Bobs, but considering the interesting
artwork on these various Cobras and the huge variety of cobra's to choose
from....well it's no wonder this Cobra decal sheet is selling so well.
I would like to thank Twobobs
for this
product
sample.
This sheet is available through
the Twobobs
website and select US Hobby Shops. Overseas customers can purchase these from
Twobobs site or through Twobobs network of overseas distributors.
