2. This
model also represents the last of a long line of kits completed without an
airbrush. The inspiration for the model came from a flight of the real thing
that flew over our house one day. I had a good view as the gunners
manipulated the Gatling Mini-Guns in the nose. |
3. The Matchbox kit represents an early Cobra from
the Vietnam War so it didn't have a Gatling Gun. Instead it had a Grenade
Launcher. So I took the barrel from a 1/72nd scale Scimitar Tank and
grafted it on. It was too heavy to stay level and the mechanism would allow
it to flop onto the ground. |
4. The photo of the spinning blades works quite
well. I believe I set them spinning with my finger just before pressing the
shutter release. |
