Bell AH-1S COBRA TZEFA IAF Israeli attack helicopter Hobby Boss 1/72 scale model
Technical data: built out of Hobby Boss kit + scratchbuilt RBF flags.
History:
The Bell AH-1 Cobra is a two-blade rotor, single-engine attack helicopter manufactured by Bell Helicopter. It was developed using the engine, transmission and rotor system of the Bell UH-1 Iroquois. A member of the prolific Huey family, the AH-1 is also referred to as the HueyCobra or Snake.
The Israeli Air Force named its Cobras as the "Tzefa" (Hebrew: צפע, for Viper). Since the mid-1970s Lebanon has been Israel's most active front; IAF Cobras had been fighting there for more than 20 years.

Really well done, and a great job picking out the details. I like the mirror display base too– we get to see all of that cool wrap-around snake motif.
Thank you Mike, really was a pleasure to build it.
Very nicely done - love the details and paint work - nicely weathered but not overdone.
Thank you Greg, your comments always make me happy! 😀
Impressive build in such a small scale.
Thank you Dan!
a beauty
Thanks Bob! 🙂
That's one venomous Viper! Looks great, right down to the remove before flight tags.
Thank you Robert 🙂
