ICM 32060 AH1G Cobra Attack Heli US Army 1:32

In March 1965, Bell began development of a close air support combat helicopter based on the Model 204 (UH-1B/-1C Iroquois). The plan was to provide the U.S. Army with a test helicopter that would combine a new narrow fuselage with a small cross-section and tandem seating arrangement, power plant, main rotor and transmission of the UH-1C helicopter. Designated Model 209, it was tested beginning in December of the same year, with orders for two pre-production models and 110 production units following in April 1966. Eventually designated the AH-1G and named the Huey Cobra, it began supplying to the U.S. Army in June 1967 and was used in combat operations in Vietnam in September. 1,127 AH-1Gs were delivered to the U.S. Army, including the TH-1G dual-control training helicopters. The serial AH-1G helicopter, which became the base for further modifications, had a single-rotor design with a tail rotor, one GTE and a ski landing gear. The fuselage was all-metal, half-monocoque type. Cockpit
