1/32 Topping Bell AH-1J SeaCobra
Metal and Plastic Model Kit
So rare it is made from the element 'unobtanium.' Of course I'm kidding, but here is all I do know. The owner of this model was a professional builder who had full access to Topping and Precise stock; his collection includes numerous models from each manufacturer, but all in kit form. This very large AH-1J Seacobra measures very close to 1/32 (17.8 inches long) and is a traditional model that Topping or Precise would have made: resin body, metal turret and guns, metal skids, metal tail rotor, detailed rotor head and more. I have listed it as Topping because the tail rotor is identical (from the same molds) to the tail rotor on the Topping UH-1s. This may be a Topping prototype, as I can find no record of Topping making this (or Precise for that matter). From looking at AH-1Js on line, this model does appear to be complete, but for obvious reasons it is sold as is. Please view the photo showing all the parts. This is an excellent model with top-notch workmanship. The resin body is straight with no warping; all resin parts are the same way. The fuselage and blades/rotor head are perfectly primed. All metal castings are excellent. There appears to be a choice of chin turrets and guns.
