AH-1G Cobra 'Marines/US Navy' Hi-Tech 1/32 scale by Special Hobby depicts the first combat helicopter designed for deployment by the US Marine Corps (USMC) and US Navy (USN) during the Vietnam War.

They were armed with the M134 Minigun rotary machine gun, M197 cannon, and Hydra 70 rocket submunitions, allowing them to effectively engage enemy targets in the jungle and on open battlefields.
The model in the HI-TECH edition features detailed cockpit, rotor system and armament in the configuration used by the USMC and US Navy. A great choice for modelers interested in helicopter technology and naval operations during the Vietnam War.
