Bell AH-1W Supercobra model helicopter

First flown in prototype form on September 7, 1965, and named Huey Cobra, this helicopter was first delivered to the US Army in June, 1967, and within two months the helicopter was being used operationally in Vietnam. US Marine Corps interest in this helicopter resulted in 38 AH-1Gs being supplied from the US Army production line in 1969. The HueyCobra has small stub-wings that serve the dual purpose of offloading the rotor in flight, and of carrying armament. Armor protection is provided for the helicopter crew in the form of Noroc side panels and seats, with other vital areas protected by panels of the same material. The AH-1W SuperCobra was a later USMC version of the helicopter with two GE T700-GE-700 engines, producing 1,690-shp each, and with better protection and avionics. Until the advent of the McDonnell Douglas AH-64 Apache, the Bell AH-1 was the US Army's prime anti-armor helicopter, and large numbers of this helicopter are still in service. The AH-1J used one 1,800-shp Pratt & Whitney of Canada T400-CP-400 twin-engined turboshaft unit, giving the helicopter a maximum speed at sea level of 207 mph, hovering ceiling in ground effect 12,450 feet, and a range with maximum fuel of 359 miles. Helicopter armament was one M-197 three-barrel 20-mm cannon in undernose turret, and up to 2,200 lbs of weapons (XM-18 Minigun pods, XM-157 seven-tube or XM-159 19-tube 70-mm/2.75-in. rocket pods) on four underwing racks. 

All helicopter models are Hand Carved, Hand Painted Mahogany and come fully assembled with removable desk stand.
