It was characterized by a sleek profile, powerful armament, and excellent maneuverability, making it one of the most famous helicopters of the Cold War era and a symbol of battlefield support aviation.

The Eduard BIG49338 set includes three key accessories:

• Photo-etched detail set (EX862): enables a much more accurate reproduction of the cockpit interior, instrument panels, and external details that are simplified in the base kit.
• STEEL seatbelts (FE1280): made of thin, flexible steel in full color, allow for a highly detailed depiction of the characteristic seatbelts for the pilot and gunner.
• Painting masks: perfectly matched to the glazing panels, these allow for precise painting of the cockpit and make finishing the model much easier without the risk of paint bleeding.

This product is recommended for both intermediate and experienced modelers (difficulty level 3/5), who expect a high level of realism and precision in the details. Ideal for military aviation enthusiasts and historical modelers wishing to emphasize the unique character of the AH-1G Cobra helicopter. With the BIG49338 set, you will achieve a faithfully reproduced model that will be a highlight of any collection.
