Bell AH-1 Cobra Walkaround

Bell AH-1G Cobra 6715574 US Army

The AH-1G was the most-produced variant of the Cobra gunship helicopter. It saw extensive use in Vietnam. This example appears to be cobbled together as a display airframe. Many of the panels have mis-matched paint, suggesting they've come from aother airframes, the weapons are all mockups and the markings are all adhesive vinyl. There is alsoa set of castors ermanently attached to the bottom of the skids. Still and interesting set of photos for general reference of the type.
