Cobra Chopper!

[Hmann68]

Hi everyone, I haven’t posted anything for several months. I didn’t spend any time at the bench over summer or fall, but a couple weeks ago I decided to get back to it with something quick and simple. So this is perfect for that…the Cobra Chopper! Number 5 of the 6 done, only the Torque Trike left. This was more fun than I expected, seeing that the box art didn’t really excite me. Very fun! Testors extreme laquer green and Tamiya Champagne gold. Driver’s seat was missing in my kit, so I made one. Other than that no real issues. Now for Shoopdog’s approval……😁👍

Turned out really well. I know what you mean about the box art not exciting me but you’re right about it being kind of a fun build.

Thanks! The cobra heads were fun lol. I’ve learned that the trikes with the V8 engines are a bit easier to deal with than these cycle engine versions

I bought this kit and might copy your paint scheme as it looks just right.

Feel free! I actually had a hard time figuring out a scheme, and remembered seeing something similar online somewhere, but I used a darker green and a lighter gold from what I remember seeing. 👍👍 Thanks
