Special Hobby 1/48 AH-1G Cobra Over Vietnam with M-35 Gun System Hi-Tech Kit Plastic Model Kit

Special Hobby's 1/48 scale AH-1G Cobra plastic model kit recreates the iconic US Army attack helicopter as it was operated over Vietnam, with the kit centred on the distinctive M-35 20mm gun system configuration. Designated SH-48230, this is a Hi-Tech release, meaning it includes additional detail parts — typically photo-etch or resin components — that lift the finished model beyond a standard injection kit. The AH-1G Cobra was the world's first purpose-built attack helicopter, and this 1/48 scale helicopter model captures the angular, narrow-profile airframe that made it so recognisable in the Vietnam War era.
