Cobra Company has released an interesting conversion in honor
of another bad fire season. This set converts your favorite
1/48 UH-1 Iroquois or Bell Model 205/212/412 Huey kit into
a firefighting aircraft.
The set consists of the belly tank that mounts to the underside
of the aircraft, a pair of rail hangers for the rear of the
tank, and a pair filler/vent masts.
This set represents a really simple conversion and would be
ideal for someone wanting to create a unique model. AMS modelers
will like this set too as each tank installation seems to be
a little different and you have the opportunity to add a variety
of plumbing, wiring and actuators that the full-scale tank
uses to interface the tank with the aircraft.
This detail set is available directly from Cobra
Company (www.cobracompany.com).
Definitely Recommended!
My sincere thanks to Cobra
Company (www.cobracompany.com) for this review sample!
