I just lay in bed and drool as I watch you make such beautiful models. Classical music is relaxing too. Great job. Thank you for another wonderful vid.

@guidor.4161 5 лет назад

I like the purple background! Green might look good too ;-)

@josephherman5790 5 лет назад

This looks great,hopefully Academy does a UH-1Y Yankee to match.Maybe Academy will start doing other helicopters in 1/35,as there are so many helicopters that need the 1/35 treatment.

@GimbleOnDew 5 лет назад

The Marine Corps HMLA squadrons run both, I'm assuming that's why you want the UH as well :)

@maxwellclark6992 4 года назад

GimbleOnDew yes, but most of the footage of these things is with UH-1Y venoms, and plus it’s just fitting, I wish someone would make a good 1/35 scale kit of a CH-53

@davepearce6359 5 лет назад

Superb build and video Andy. Sure looks a amazing kit. That’s a late birthday pressie sorted. Cheers. D. 😎👍🏻

@shaynebell5200 5 лет назад

Academy Company is Just !! 100m distance from our Office!! At there this1/35 plastic model kit is produced..^^ (It is real)

@michaelkramer8850 5 лет назад

Love your videos and have used many of your techniques to make me a better model builder. However I am struggling with applying weathering. After applying the base color coat I applied an acrylic semi-gloss clear coat and then Tamiya panel line accent. The problem is the panel liner just smudged and made a complete mess. I just saw one of your other older videos mentioned where you used a lacquer clear coat, but did not mention if it was gloss, semi-gloss or flat. Does it have to be lacquer or will an acrylic or enamel clear coat work and what finish should I use. I need your HELP!

@claudebrisson5577 5 лет назад

Andy, great job with your show, question what is the glue you're using for the photo-etch parts?

@dimesadozen1545 5 лет назад

I think he just uses regular super glue, thats what i use and it sticks forever

@RCUKScaleModels 5 лет назад

nicely done Andy I want one of those kits I'm going to get one

@colelawrence1326 5 лет назад

Hey Andy you outta do a Leopold railway gun. I've been thinking about doing one and would like to see a video on one

@dalewood6812 5 лет назад

I like these videos. Not too much detail, but more than enough to let you understand what's being done.

@andykim6434 5 лет назад

This is a piece of a gorgeous kit. U.S. marine viper! Most parts seem to fit very well. Must-Buy Item! Great build. Thanks Andy!

@richardb3882 5 лет назад

Hi Andy, another great review, not having done a helicopter (normally AFV's) there looks to be a lot of seams to take care of which look's tough, what is your view on all the seams?

@andyrichardsvideovlogs8835 5 лет назад

Wow. Impressive kit. I'm not into helicopters but that would tempt me.

@ianjackson7515 5 лет назад

Really wasn't sure when you started applying the wash, Andy, but it came-out fine. Had no intent to buy this kit - Helos don't figure very high in my 'to do list'. But after this review have added one to the list on a certain well-known on-line auction site ! Best from NZ

@RMZFILMS59 4 года назад

@24:04 Where do i get the black holder to put my Tamiya bottles in?

@TheSuperdaniel1970 5 лет назад

Terrific Andy...thanks for sharing this one 👍🏻

@bigd-1-channel514 5 лет назад

I see you are out to spill that bottle of Tamiya Glue again? Been waiting for a new video. Cool kit.

@obkb1 2 года назад

One minor nit about the display screens. From the Wikipedia AH-1Z article "Each crew station has two 8×6-inch multifunction liquid crystal displays (LCD) and one 4.2×4.2-inch dual function LCD." So a more appropriate color for the screens would be some kind of glossy black instead of the monochrome green.

@munchkinmodelingman72GAM2 5 лет назад

great build andy ....my partner here at work ( marine ) liked that kit .

@arkbuilder2012 5 лет назад

Great build Andy. Will definitely be getting one of these. Hope it’s a big seller and Academy will consider more new tool 1/35 rotary wing birds.

@ianslee8968 3 года назад

You get so much stuff quicker. Do you have any on line selling? I’d gladly pay shipping for what and how too, get stuff. Just a thought. It’s so hard to get stuff in Scotland. Great presentation, as ever. Cheers.

@GNomad781 Год назад

Just one quick question (and forgive me if it's already been asked) but how did you like using that "hodge podge" stuff for securing the canopy??

@utley Год назад

13:45 I cant believe they left the bottom halves of the gun turret off of this model...the inside of those things are so bland its like they wanted to scream out "hey we halfassed the gun"!

@metroplex3k Год назад

Kind of wonder why the danger / caution markings are such low visibility, that you can barely see them - kind of defeats the purpose of having safety markings.

@geraldwalker2612 3 года назад

What no Sugar Plum Fairy? That's okay though somehow the Blue Danube was very appropriate as usual great work thank you so much for your dedication

@3041Markov 5 лет назад

I'm not seeing where you painted anything dark ghost grey?

@clonetrooperfigure7799 5 лет назад

Just a suggestion you should start doing give a ways.

@peterschult5352 5 лет назад

which glue do you use to glue small color-sprayed parts on your color-sprayed model? i never seen you do in your movies . You glue them afterwards in but can you show us or tell what kind of glue you juse for that .... ?

@Vendell_23 5 лет назад

the propeller color is wrong it should be black

@jordanakin8953 2 года назад

You should build more stuff like this like Helios and planes and figure s and boats that's what I build

@nyareyes9828 3 года назад

Hiyee, is this the Academy 12127 kit? What skill level is it rated? Thanks.

@arnewiththeboats7324 5 лет назад

New Academy kits are really nice. I did the Humvee Up Armored ,M1A2 Tusk II, and Grant. All great kits. Went together nicely, just enough parts,photo etch,slide molds.

@stevelawhon5533 5 лет назад

Love this build. You did a awesome job on it. I want one. A gain you did a awesome job Andy! Thanks for giving us these awesome videos as well. Thanks Steve

@alanhobday9556 5 лет назад

wrong decal on the engine casing on the side.and how can you replicate the faded look on all the markings?

@arvisjuxe3899 5 лет назад

Like your editing this time.

@troruaz 5 лет назад

regarding the glue vs non-glue on the seats, do you scrape away paint from the little slots where the seats would go?

@TsorovanZero 5 лет назад

You can if you want, but it's really not necessary. Tamiya extra thin will eat right through that little bit of paint.

@troruaz 5 лет назад

@@TsorovanZero aha! you hit the nail on the head of what I was asking. That eating through is exactly what I've seen in my own experience and it just seemed "bad" so i thought i was making an amateur mistake and wondering what the pros do :)

@TsorovanZero 5 лет назад

@@troruaz In a hidden area like under the seat, it's not really a problem at all. The cement will still complete its function, and you won't have any visible paint issues. One of the things you learn on the way to becoming a "pro" is where and when you can break the rules. You can break a lot of rules in places you'll never see after final assembly.

@jerryplews1023 5 лет назад

Great video.purple is better than black

@tklube308 7 месяцев назад

This is awesom. I was in HMLA-269 for 5 years then transferred to Pendleton and was in HMLA-369 for an additional five years. I absolutely love the Cobra, i just got this model today. Now im just waiting for the 1:35 scale UH-1Y Venom to come out.

@flyingleathernecksdecals3491 5 лет назад

Great job! Just a note though, Academy got the colors wrong. The correct colors are 36375 for the main body and 35237 for all top surfaces.

@tigertanktoo 5 лет назад

Sorry Andy, but at 26:15 it's Rotorwash that pushes the exhaust down, not the "Prop". Again, sorry, but as a helicopter guy in real life I just wanted to get that straight. Carry on my friend, love your videos.

@vampiszon6620 4 года назад

I think ah-1z is Viper. Cobra is ah-1w.

@Appppy 3 года назад

Ah1z is not cobra. Ah1s is cobra.. ah1z is viper.

@cesarortega802 5 лет назад

Great video as always. Perhaps that is a good way to start your videos, with the finished model as introduction. Keep them coming!

@dunny7105 Год назад

Hi Can you help me find a decal set for this model as I do not have one? I cannot locate the spares

@bdgiantman2a 4 года назад

Hey Andy, great job on the model build and letting us follow you. A very realistic looking final result I must say. One question I want to ask you, I have been experimenting with the Tamiya Thin Cement Brushes and have had disappointing results. Many times it seems that the bond made is very weak and the pieces easily come apart. Am I doing something wrong?

@TheBattleRabbit860 2 года назад

I have to get one of these kits. The AH-1Z Viper is an absolute beast and, in my opinion, it puts the Cobra family ahead of the AH-64D Apache Longbow. I have never thought to use Modge Podge for canopies, I have been using the rather messy Canopy Glue from Evergreen. It gets the job done, but when working on smaller scale like 1:75 it can be a little messy. It still dries totally clear of course.

@TheHateSpeechChannel 5 лет назад

With a black background it's difficult to see the kit, the tail of this copter would disappear for example. A light to medium blue looks best like in your logo. . I see many people use this. Excellent kit BTW.

@MC1802M 5 лет назад

Hey Andy. I hope you are well. I am about to do this exact model and had a question: those MMP paints, do you thin them out at all? I have never used them and am curious if they can be sprayed well straight from the bottle. Thank you for any help!

@chipblock2854 5 лет назад

Back in 2013 while working at the local airport we had 6 of the army version these great helicopters come in for fuel. They were ferrying them from McCord Joint Airbase in Washington to Fort Hood in Texas. It was my responsibility to fuel each one. It was a chore but it was rewarding too. What was interesting was of the 12 pilots there were 2 females. Most of them were 20 years and younger. I have never built a 1/35 scale model but I have in my stash the M1070 / M1000 truck. Now I want this one! I will have to get out my mangifyer glasses.

@iangarrett3308 5 лет назад

Hey Andy, have you ever thought of trying Testors Model Master Clear Parts Cement and Window maker? It looks like Elmer's School Glue, but it bonds clear plastic canopies to base plastic perfectly. And after the cement cures, it comes out clear, basically invisible.

@t.j.lemaster8653 3 года назад

Are we able to order from your shop online?

@firefox3187 5 лет назад

Hope they de the other cobras like this going forward

@martinbarr9402 5 лет назад

Hey Andy. Another nice build. You said you used Tamiya dull coat over Mission Models paint and it seems to work ok. I was wondering if you have tried Tamiya over Vallejo Model Air and if it works ok. Keep the vids coming!

@ianbrown9108 5 лет назад

That is some kit.Rather you than me with the Minigun and tail rotor assemblies,they look so fiddly.The finished article looks fantastic.

@garyparker2969 5 лет назад

Awesome Surprise from Academy Claus LOL, Turned Out Very Nicely. Thanks for Sharing Andy n God Bless All

@StaplesandVine 5 лет назад

Great to see such a 😎 bird in 1/35.

@nyareyes8618 2 года назад

Made couple of previous build attempts. Eventually want to complete a pair for my diorama.

@wadep9916 5 лет назад

Like ur videos! Can anybody recommend a good starter plane to build ? I like the B-17, I'm a retired RC Racer have most of tools needed. Thanks Sir

@chrisc5347 5 лет назад

Wow!!! Very nice work!!!! I really want to do one by myself but I get asthma allergic to the paint chemicals. So great thanks to you and RU-vid that I could still have the fun by watching your videos.

@simonwillis1529 5 лет назад

Sweeet I can’t wait to get this and the aphache long bow I did this cobra kit years ago looks crap cuz of my skill and now iv restarted gonna be a test of what iv learned

@1288stone 5 лет назад

What’s the price on these supposed to be?

@johnphilipburdis3798 5 лет назад

Thanks Andy for the explanation for slide molding. I had an idea that's how they did it. P V A is good for gluing clear parts because it dries clear. I learnt that from another RU-vid video.

@DavidLee-df888 5 лет назад

Great video, Andy. The purple background is great, it allows quite a lot of contrast so the details aren't overwhelmed like a black background would do. Question. Since this now competes almost directly with the Kitty hawk 1/48 viper zulu, which is the better kit? Most of my aircraft and helos are of course in 1/48, but my armour is 1/35. As far as I can tell the only other attack chopper in 1/35 is the trumpeter mi-35 Hind. So, new collection in same scale as the tanks, or continue building in same scale as the other aircraft? Edit, oops I see that Academy do actually make a viper whiskey in 1/35 as well

@FernandWolf 5 лет назад

nice videos, very helpful. question, can you apply Tamiya TS 13 clear Coat over regular Tamiya Acrylic Paint? I did a test and the XF 53 Gray got all smeared.

@oddball3673 5 лет назад

Andy you are the man!

@filipzietek5146 5 лет назад

Looks like a great kit, slide molding is awesome. Andy could you do a review or a build of new Trumpeter Exeter cruiser? It looks like a nice kit too with slide molded 1 piece hull and superstructure.

@VonDrinkoften 5 лет назад

Awesome build of what looks like a great kit. Though I shudder at the thought of the price once it arrives here in NZ.

@sincky 5 лет назад

Hi Andy great build! Can you tell me what and how you thin your Tamiya clear flat if you actually thin the clear flat.

@gabrielgalvez1312 3 года назад

Are the panel lines raised or recessed and the rivets as well I thought I saw a kit with it having panel lines outward and rivets outward

@stephenullman4534 2 года назад

Excellent job. I do have the kit and I'm building it now. I'm putting in a little more detail in the cockpit but other than that your build was right on. Thank you for doing this. It truly helped a lot.

@Jack-sn5xv 5 лет назад

Andy I would love to see you build Kitty Hawk’s 1:35 AH-6J Little Bird

@paulsadventures5962 5 лет назад

Since you haven't brought out many video's lately. you have forgot how to do them lol but I did like the intro. I have never done a helicopter before might be time to try one great video as always.

@Hossman757 5 лет назад

Great build but its too "clean". There is not enough wash around the engines.

@YesdogLive 5 лет назад

Nice kit, very well done. I was curious about the feature near the cockpit -- I presume that it's for refueling, but I also thought it might be a shower head or a root beer tap. ;)

@t.j.lemaster8653 3 года назад

Wow... that turned out to Be a pretty decent size Chopper Awesome work !

@dennisjohnson6541 5 лет назад

It was better with the purple as the black would have made the black parts disappear.

@EDX2308 5 лет назад

From what I can see, this kit doesn't come with pilots.....

@wadestipp1833 4 года назад

This is awesome thank you. I just ordered one. Arriving tomorrow. Will certainly be referencing your build process.

@bbcrusader2830 5 лет назад

Andy to fill seam lines like that get a bottle of tamiya glue and drop a few sprew pieces in side till its a slury consistance and it will make filling them so easy

@MrBMBuilder 5 лет назад

Thanks for this vid Andy, I can't wait to pick this one up!! Andy I think you have been watching my videos or you have read my mind :) Purple is the new Black and its looks better on this occasion

@davidcole333 3 года назад

This was my first helicopter build. I really enjoyed it and got a good result out of it. I think a modeler of average ability would have no problems completing this model.

@Elfwingson 5 лет назад

Great vid (as always), Andy👍🏼 Question; have you ever did a kinda ”store history” vid? You know, a brief vid about you store. That would be kinda cool for us that don’t have the option to make a visit (I live in Sweden). Keep up the good work and the effot you put in to the community. Cheers!

@user-ro1cs5hp5e 5 лет назад

Damn I always wished to have that model, seeing it being built makes me jelous. I wanna suggest something why not offering some of the models u built for ur patrons? or subscribers? plz :D

@azdave2721 5 лет назад

Nice kit and build. Does the kit come wit the PE? Keep the vids coming Andy. D. From Tucson.

@chilliges7259 5 лет назад

In Germany we would consider Andy as an "Ehrenmann" because he shows us all those Nice kits

@thewizardofaz 5 лет назад

do the two main engine exhausts have the ribbing and vanes seen in real Zulus?

@robertoaustria1820 5 лет назад

Hi Andy, what thinner did you use to dilute the Tamiya Panel Line?. Great job.

@pinfarmer 5 лет назад

What’s with the German looking cross on the box art? Amazing model!

@elation8101 5 лет назад

A lot of people knew about the kit because the original release date was Early 2018 as it was stated on their 2018 catalogue. ;)

@wwkdiecastmore5647 5 лет назад

Really nice kit, looks great!...Bill

@wesbrooner4249 5 лет назад

Hi Andy, use a neutral color for a background, a dark background could take away some of details of the model.... I love all your videos and thanks for autographing the box top for me....your friend from Colorado
