Got some money for my birthday, so I treated myself to this and some filler.

From John in the shop, and a quick delivery even with the postal strike.

Is the kit that bad?

Odd choice of box art, though: if it includes the M35 gun system:

… why not show the side that has more than just the ammo bin for it?

I think they just put the PE and resin parts in the old boxing, saves money.

That’s the thing: the M35 gun system was not just the gun, but also a streamlined ammo bin on each side above the skids:

(from Bell AH-1 Cobra by Mike Verier, Osprey, 1990)

The box art shows that bin on the right-hand side, so they didn’t just recycle a painting from an AH-1G without the M35.

Maybe they wanted to keep it a surprise.
The kit looks quite good I'll get some sprue shots up later.
