Trumpeter 05116 AH-1W Super Cobra 1/35 – plastic combat helicopter model kit

The Trumpeter 05116 model in 1/35 scale is a faithful replica of the modern AH-1W Super Cobra attack helicopter, which is one of the key support elements of the United States Marine Corps (USMC). This aircraft was developed based on earlier AH-1 variants, including the AH-1 Huey Cobra, significantly increasing its combat capabilities through the use of twin turboshaft engines, modern avionics systems, and improved armament and armor.

The history of the AH-1W Super Cobra is tied to the Cold War era, with the aircraft making its combat debut in the 1980s. Since then, these helicopters have been used by the US Marine Corps in numerous military operations, including the Persian Gulf intervention, stabilization missions, and in the fight against terrorism and asymmetric conflicts up to the first decades of the 21st century.
