This is awesom. I was in HMLA-269 for 5 years then transferred to Pendleton and was in HMLA-369 for an additional five years. I absolutely love the Cobra, i just got this model today. Now im just waiting for the 1:35 scale UH-1Y Venom to come out.
It is a good kit. 👍
Made couple of previous build attempts. Eventually want to complete a pair for my diorama.
Models have come a long way since I last built one back in the early 1970’s.....nice build 👍🏼😊
In Germany we would consider Andy as an "Ehrenmann" because he shows us all those Nice kits
This is a piece of a gorgeous kit. U.S. marine viper! Most parts seem to fit very well. Must-Buy Item! Great build. Thanks Andy!
I like these videos. Not too much detail, but more than enough to let you understand what's being done.
This looks great,hopefully Academy does a UH-1Y Yankee to match.Maybe Academy will start doing other helicopters in 1/35,as there are so many helicopters that need the 1/35 treatment.
The Marine Corps HMLA squadrons run both, I'm assuming that's why you want the UH as well :)
GimbleOnDew yes, but most of the footage of these things is with UH-1Y venoms, and plus it’s just fitting, I wish someone would make a good 1/35 scale kit of a CH-53
One minor nit about the display screens. From the Wikipedia AH-1Z article "Each crew station has two 8×6-inch multifunction liquid crystal displays (LCD) and one 4.2×4.2-inch dual function LCD." So a more appropriate color for the screens would be some kind of glossy black instead of the monochrome green.
New Academy kits are really nice. I did the Humvee Up Armored ,M1A2 Tusk II, and Grant. All great kits. Went together nicely, just enough parts,photo etch,slide molds.
I liked the intro section being shot after the build was done. It was kind of like a flash forward scene at the beginning of a movie or TV show. Great job Andy.
What an awesome attack copter and another amazing build Andy. Love it
Very nice video
What no Sugar Plum Fairy? That's okay though somehow the Blue Danube was very appropriate as usual great work thank you so much for your dedication
Wow! This kit is irresistible!
Fit and finish on this seems really good (a few mould lines/seams to clean up but no big deal) and instructions are well done. Overall, looks like a great kit. Great job building/painting this kit, thanks!
I just lay in bed and drool as I watch you make such beautiful models. Classical music is relaxing too. Great job. Thank you for another wonderful vid.
Love this build. You did a awesome job on it. I want one. A gain you did a awesome job Andy! Thanks for giving us these awesome videos as well. Thanks Steve
Excellent job. I do have the kit and I'm building it now. I'm putting in a little more detail in the cockpit but other than that your build was right on. Thank you for doing this. It truly helped a lot.
Wow... that turned out to Be a pretty decent size Chopper Awesome work !
Final reveal background was great Loved the purple
Looks an absolutely fantastic kit, thanks Andy
Nice chopper. Beautifully built !
Terrific Andy...thanks for sharing this one 👍🏻
just take my money now and send me one when they release!
looks a nice kit andy love your work are you going to finish of you panther a 😉😉
Back in 2013 while working at the local airport we had 6 of the army version these great helicopters come in for fuel. They were ferrying them from McCord Joint Airbase in Washington to Fort Hood in Texas. It was my responsibility to fuel each one. It was a chore but it was rewarding too. What was interesting was of the 12 pilots there were 2 females. Most of them were 20 years and younger.
I have never built a 1/35 scale model but I have in my stash the M1070 / M1000 truck. Now I want this one! I will have to get out my mangifyer glasses.
Andy you are the man!
Wow!!! Very nice work!!!! I really want to do one by myself but I get asthma allergic to the paint chemicals. So great thanks to you and TH-cam that I could still have the fun by watching your videos.
Awesome Surprise from Academy Claus LOL, Turned Out Very Nicely. Thanks for Sharing Andy n God Bless All
Thanks Andy, informative and inspiring build
Beautifully done Brilliant kit Love your videos
Hi Andy, once again you have produced another great build.
This is awesome thank you. I just ordered one. Arriving tomorrow. Will certainly be referencing your build process.
Thanks Andy for the explanation for slide molding. I had an idea that's how they did it. P V A is good for gluing clear parts because it dries clear. I learnt that from another TH-cam video.
Cant wait, will definitely be picking up a couple of this one!
Yes you’re back you’re my favorite TH-cam channel
Beautiful kit!!
This was my first helicopter build. I really enjoyed it and got a good result out of it. I think a modeler of average ability would have no problems completing this model.
Top work andy👍🏻
Nice kit! Thanks for the video.
You should build more stuff like this like Helios and planes and figure s and boats that's what I build
Beautiful build
Beautiful kit and great build!
Great to see such a 😎 bird in 1/35.
Nice one Andy great build and also a great way to a video with the build all done Steve 🇬🇧
great build andy ....my partner here at work ( marine ) liked that kit .
FLIR, Forward Looking Infa Red
Great video.purple is better than black
Love that new logo with your name in the sprue :)
Like your editing this time.
Nice build Andy!! 2 Thumbs Up!!
get to tha choppha!
Great job!
Superb build and video Andy. Sure looks a amazing kit. That’s a late birthday pressie sorted.
Cheers.
D. 😎👍🏻
Wow. Impressive kit. I'm not into helicopters but that would tempt me.
Beautiful.
Really wasn't sure when you started applying the wash, Andy, but it came-out fine. Had no intent to buy this kit - Helos don't figure very high in my 'to do list'. But after this review have added one to the list on a certain well-known on-line auction site !
Best from NZ
That is some kit.Rather you than me with the Minigun and tail rotor assemblies,they look so fiddly.The finished article looks fantastic.
I think I like this intro better, with the model prebuilt
Nice build!kit is on my list
Great video as always. Perhaps that is a good way to start your videos, with the finished model as introduction. Keep them coming!
nice👍
Great build Andy. Will definitely be getting one of these. Hope it’s a big seller and Academy will consider more new tool 1/35 rotary wing birds.
What a great video ,one of the best helicopter for a long time will be ordering this week for one😀
That's really cool model
andyshobbyheadquartersonline.com/shop?olsPage=products%2Facademy-models-135-usmc-ah-1z-attack-helicopter
It's on the list!
Thanks for this vid Andy, I can't wait to pick this one up!! Andy I think you have been watching my videos or you have read my mind :) Purple is the new Black and its looks better on this occasion
Hi Andy ... thanks for the nice preview ... looking gerat!!! ... greetings Make*
nicely done Andy I want one of those kits I'm going to get one
Very nice
OMG I LOVE IT
I like the purple background! Green might look good too ;-)
WOW!!!!
nice kit andy
I have to get one of these kits. The AH-1Z Viper is an absolute beast and, in my opinion, it puts the Cobra family ahead of the AH-64D Apache Longbow. I have never thought to use Modge Podge for canopies, I have been using the rather messy Canopy Glue from Evergreen. It gets the job done, but when working on smaller scale like 1:75 it can be a little messy. It still dries totally clear of course.
That’s looks really good. Weathering was really done well. I use the mission model paints exclusively and the grays seem to match the lo viz decals almost to the point that they can’t be seen on several kits.
Thats it!!! Im buying two.
Great job buddy!
Really nice kit, looks great!...Bill
Testors makes clear parts cement. It works pretty good.
Hope they de the other cobras like this going forward
As always amazing video, can't wait for this model to land in India. :)
looks ok to me the back ground and kit looks good to me see more as more is posted
What a beautiful kit! i just watched this kit being assembled on another model channel on TH-cam - it's so big! Thanks for making things simple, easy to follow and engaging for all of us experienced, as well as beginning modelers! I'll defiantly be on the look out for this kit !
아잉뿌잉
I like the "mistake" new intro
Andy to fill seam lines like that get a bottle of tamiya glue and drop a few sprew pieces in side till its a slury consistance and it will make filling them so easy
Great vid (as always), Andy👍🏼 Question; have you ever did a kinda ”store history” vid? You know, a brief vid about you store. That would be kinda cool for us that don’t have the option to make a visit (I live in Sweden). Keep up the good work and the effot you put in to the community. Cheers!
Andy, for clear parts try to use Humbrol Clear Fix. 😉
yeah old school style video!
Looks like a great kit, slide molding is awesome. Andy could you do a review or a build of new Trumpeter Exeter cruiser? It looks like a nice kit too with slide molded 1 piece hull and superstructure.
Hi Andy, another great review, not having done a helicopter (normally AFV's) there looks to be a lot of seams to take care of which look's tough, what is your view on all the seams?
I see you are out to spill that bottle of Tamiya Glue again? Been waiting for a new video. Cool kit.
Great job Andy, as usual 1/35 scale helicopters are real beasts to work on but the results are worth it. Looking forward to your next build
Awesome build of what looks like a great kit. Though I shudder at the thought of the price once it arrives here in NZ.
Great video, Andy. The purple background is great, it allows quite a lot of contrast so the details aren't overwhelmed like a black background would do.
Question. Since this now competes almost directly with the Kitty hawk 1/48 viper zulu, which is the better kit? Most of my aircraft and helos are of course in 1/48, but my armour is 1/35. As far as I can tell the only other attack chopper in 1/35 is the trumpeter mi-35 Hind. So, new collection in same scale as the tanks, or continue building in same scale as the other aircraft?
Edit, oops I see that Academy do actually make a viper whiskey in 1/35 as well
Great job! Just a note though, Academy got the colors wrong. The correct colors are 36375 for the main body and 35237 for all top surfaces.
Awesome work Andy.Have you tried revell contacta clear?Great for clear parts as it doesn’t damage.👊👊👊👊
Regards,
Shayne
Sweeet I can’t wait to get this and the aphache long bow I did this cobra kit years ago looks crap cuz of my skill and now iv restarted gonna be a test of what iv learned
