USMC AH-1Z ‘Shark Mouth’ 1/35 Academy

Based on the Bell AH-1 Huey Cobra, which was used in great numbers in Vietnam, Bell developed the improved AH-1W SuperCobra which has twin engines for greater survivability and a 20mm cannon. First delivery of this prototype to the US Marine Corps was in 1986. The armament consists of a 20mm rapid fire gun, alternating packages of TOW, Sidewinder, or Hellfire missiles and Zuni 127mm or Hydra 70mm rockets.
