Sand Shark AH-1

See the finished aircraft at my website: flypastrush.com/post/sharktoothedcobra-ah-1s 

I built my example as "Sand Shark" of US Army N Troop 4th Sq 2nd Armored Cavalry based in Iraq in 1991 

If you want to build a 1/48th AH-1F/S, this is the only game in town (that I know of). First issued by Monogram 1986 this is an older technology kit with raised panel lines. The kit has since been re-boxed under the Revell label as well. 

Very slim profile on this Snake... 

...Coming or going there is not a lot of width here (so makes for a small target).
