  1. Nicely done, Allan...quite the impressive collection you've got there. And even though they're 72nd scale, having rotors must still make for some display constraints, huh?

  2. Very nice collection of whirly birds - and nice Cobra!

    Thats a lot of choppers . I had a small collection years ago. All gone now. Well done.

  4. Wow! That's a LOT of Helluva-coptors! And beautifully done, too Allan! I really like the Cobra. I wish the Army had adopted the same type as the Marines did. The AH 64 is superior, but both types would be welcome on the battlefield!

  5. Allan, time for a Lakota!
    Me, I want an H-19 in 48th. A couple of them! And a better Huey in several varieties. And some Jet Rangers.

  6. Beautiful Cobra!

  7. Great work, Allan.

  8. That's a cool build Allan! Nice
    Collection as well!

  9. Great build, AWESOME collection! ?

  10. Great build of the Super Cobra. And a wonderful collection of helicopters you have too. I got a special intrest in these whirly-birds and love to build some as well in 1:72.
