The Cobra is coming along. We may miss our goal of installing it in the Air Base AZ CAF museum by the end of August. Believe it or not, rain delays. To get the rotor and blades on we have to roll it out from the building, and we are trying to avoid rain. The detail is awesome, to a point. We have every stencil and decal properly displayed on the aircraft. Problem is, most of the minor stencils were not to be seen on Desert Storm Army Cobras. They were painted beige with rollers in theater. It was Saudi house paint, white and brown mixed. Painted right over existing stencils and most were never replaced. Ours looks much nicer. This laser warning decal on the TSU is a reproduction by one of our members, but is perfectly accurate.
This is the pilot of the famous Sand Shark, CW3 Warren Alyworth. The decal on the lower right cockpit plexi is from a German gun club Warren was a member of. We called them and they are sending us a club decal which will be a fixed in the same location.
Our Cobra getting it's 90 degree gear box installed the other day. Yes that is a hammer! They are army crew chiefs after all. Old soldiers, but soldiers none the less.
