I absolutely love how much your modelling has improved since i started watching your channel. Your airbrushing is next level!

Servos, oil cooler screen (left side of fuselage), zinc chromate paint for the interior of the fuselage, engine exhaust cowling, seats, back and bottom, were porous to allow for the ECU (Environmental Control Unit) to cool both front and rear occupants, the "filter" behind the transmission (xmsn) is the engine intake filter, the swashplate is above the xmsn, the red light above the fuselage behind the xmsn is the anti-collision light. the tail rotor (t/r) skid is the t/r stinger. which contains the only wood on the AH-1G Cobra. the seats are armor plated. The fairings attached to the fuselage below the wings, are stores for the 20mm M95 Vulcan gun. The "a/c" plenum I don't recall. The area is for the SCAS (Stability Control Augmentation System) and wiring for the avionics. The XM18 7.62 pod under the right inboard store would never be mounted with the M-35 (20mm) System. They would be mounted as pairs , one one each inboard under the wing. Overall, a nice model. Sabre 77.

I love the smell of Gary's Stuff in the morning (if you know what I mean😯). You did a very nice job on this one Gary.

Nice job Gary. Glad you went with the crossed swords, just seems appropriate. 👍🏻🇦🇺

WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats stunning Gary !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what a cracking job ......👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Hi Gary, thatvwas a awsome build, you have co,pleted a outstanding job, congratulations mate, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia 👍👍👍👍

Excellent build son 👍 I'm so tempted to get one. I especially love the pre shading👍 keep up the great work son 👍

This is a very nice looking model and a nice size/scale. The only thing is that you have left the transmission door open and in reality there is a massive amount of detailing missing. Mainly pipework and wiring. This is one thing I have found with ICM is that often in their kits big chunks of detail are missing. I built their 1/32 scale Tiger Moth and there was a lot of cockpit detail missing including seat belts and also a lot of detail missing on the engine, like the carburetor. It was fun adding this detail but that's not everyone's cup of tea

On your instrument it might have been a good idea to use the decals but individually. Also a suggestion is to use Posca pens which are acrylic coloured pens.

It’s great when you hear the parts click into place, looked like a very nice kit never done a helicopter but if l was to do one l think this would be a contender 👍

Cracking job can't wait to get my seaking

Excellent work Gary 👍👍

Super looking build, the only complaint i would say is, you keep building great kits which makes me so tempted to get one. 😁

Great video! I typically use blackbasing with black primer, add the white preshade and then add a touch of yellow. I find the yellow makes the final green coat look more faded and patchy. That way you don't have to worry too much about weathering with oils afterwards.

Pretty nice Cobra. FYI, in the front cockpit, the stubby control on the left is the collective and the stubby one on the right is the cyclic. The middle controller is your weapons controls. The Cobra is notoriously difficult to fly from the front due to the touchy nature of the flight control system.

Wow! That's a bloody good looking bird..A stunner! 👍 ICM are becoming a real force to be reckoned with in the modelling world! 😃

Excellent job as always Gary. I wish there were seated crew figutlres to go with this kit to spice it up a little but as it is it is wonderful.

Possibly your best build ever

Great build. Not sure if someone already posted this or not. The extra armor above the ammunition bay on the left side of the acft is for the M-35 (20mm) System mounted inboard under the winglets. Did see a post about the XM18 7.62 mini gun pod. Also the rocket pods would be mounted in pairs for weight and balance. Redcatcher84

Good video, nicely done, the model looks really nice, putting me in the mood for the doing helicopters again (though that's a way off at the moment)

Excellent build gary straight out of the box. The two bladed choppers are great for those with limited shelf space, once again i am inspired.

One last thing to say. Your skills are excellent. I can only hope one day to be even half as good as you are at these builds. I’ve worked on the real thing (UH-1s, UH-60s, OH-6s, OH-58s, CH-47s, CH-54s) but can’t put what I saw onto plastic. On the other hand, you can take a picture of something, apply it to plastic, and turn it into a masterpiece.

Love helicopters , transports more than gunships but i can see this flying silhouetted against a Vietnam sunset . Lovely work and video Gary . Regards Gav.

Great Work Gary. I took have a fear of helicopters. Last week while Bev and I were on a tour of the Calgary Air Museum a volunteer gave me an Italeri 1/72 EH-101 Cormorant. Said that he didn't have time to be working on it. All that he had done so far was put the cockpit decals on. It is a Canadian Armed Forces Air/Sea Rescue chopper, Yellow over all. I'm looking forward to the challenge as I haven't built a helicopter since the mid 70's.

Super job!👍

A very nice job Gary. That looks like a terrific kit. Another one to put on the “to do” list!

Awesome build Gary! Very nice result on this ICM Cobra ✨👍✨

I watched this yesterday and I have to say, ref the instrument panels in particular, bloody lovely job! I commonly watch on a 24" PC monitor, although yesterday was a 27" TV. The bigger size of screen /amplified/ how good the modelling and painting is :)

@Gary's Stuff. Love your channel and there's always something new. Great model and build but...in my best nerdy voice, the Daleks first appearance in Doctor Who was 21st December 1963. The Bell AH-1 Cobra, yours being a later model hence the G, didn't get it's first flight until 77th September 1965. Therefore the influence of it on the Daleks must be zero. Please take all of the above, not the complements obviously, in a light hearted vein.👍

Perfect 👍👍👍

Adding the white over the black pain is a great idea. CARC black which is used in all US Army Helicopter Interiors after the Vietnam War is not a true black.

Great build video (as always) Gary. Mine is now on order after watching your video. 👍😊

Gonna have to get one of these fancy doing a vietnam diorama😊great work gary loving your work bud😊

It looks fantastic Gary 👍🏼

Hello gary my dear!i have a fun fact for you. Do you know:the corporate Chef of TABASCO is called GARY EVANS too.your stuff is even as hot as his stuff.with sticky greetings from good ol'germany. Your friend in sprues.christian

As always Gary, a brilliant video with content to match. Thanks for sharing'

Very cool Gary! Love it! Thanks for sharing. 😎🇨🇦

Hi Gary. Another great looking addition to the collection. I'm a bit wary of building copters, I think it's just cos I'm more info planes n armour. Can you recommend good paint brushes for small detail work like painting a tanks tools or cockpits details etc. I got one of those cheap 10 different brushes for a couple of quid sets n I'm now seeing it might of been a mistake

Nice build however at scales of 1/48 , 1/35 or above the gun's barrels must be drilled in .... 🤷‍♂️😊❤

Excellent work there Gary. A quick question: Do you need to use the micro set and micro sol? What is the difference between them and can you use one and not the other?

NIce work Gary, I have a question, why are helicopter kits 1/35th scale? Aircraft are usually 1/32nd scale.

Excelent

Couldn’t you cut the dials out on the decals and use them on their own?

Gary, I must agree with psychodermix about your skills and how they have come on so very well. Congrats mate. Do you use a certain type of brushes? The ‘tips’ you had for the instrumentation were great. Do you know why the pilot and gunner are back to front (in my experience anyway) looks strange!? Your enjoyment making this kit showed thru matey and boy it looks great…….for a helicopter!! Lol Bob England

Ejection seats in a helicopter🤣🤣🤣

Looks like recently you've been skipping over the decal process. Just wondering why since that will make or break a kit.

One last thing to say. Your skills are excellent. I can only hope one day to be even half as good as you are at these builds. I’ve worked on the real thing (UH-1s, UH-60s, OH-6s, OH-58s, CH-47s, CH-54s) but can’t put what I saw onto plastic.
