    Help finding a kit to build

    Since this is not WWII related I did not want to post it in the model forum.

    My boss, and Army vet, told me that his favorite helicopter is a Huey AH1 with the shark mouth on it.



    For the life of me I cannot find one with a shark mouth in 1/72 scale on the Internet.

    Can anyone offer some help?

    Thanks,

    Jon

    Humm.. if it had to be the Huey it should be UH-1 . But if it should be AH-1 it had to be Bell also known as Cobra.

    As memo serves the UH-1 shark-mouth model has been offered by Italeri.

    Wojtek, below are the pics of the kit I'm building for my boss. As I said in my PM, I can't figure out where to start sanding to fit the canopy into place. This kit leaves so much to be desired, but I'm determined to get it done.

    The kit is made by Mister Craft Hobby Kits, I was fooled when I bought it off of Ebay and thought it was a Mastercraft kit, the logo is nearly identical.

    CP, check and see if the area I have marked in red is parallel with the back of the canopy. If not you can start here by truing up the line and it may fall into place. In your post it looks like it may have a wider gap at the top.
