pacificmustang Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) Greatly abbreviated WIP here This is the Kittyhawk 1/32 Bell Airacobra kit converted to my interpretation of an RAF Airacobra MK1 The WIP lists all the changes I made Kit was painted with Xtracolour paints using masks by Maketar for the codes and national markings Exhausts and wheels came from Mastercaster, and all gun barrels came from Master save for the 20mm cannon barrel which is aluminium tubing Whilst the kit does not fall together out of the box I had little trouble with the assembly Thanks to all those that fallowed the build Bruce IMG_0068 , IMG_0065 , IMG_0063 , , overall view , Edited August 13, 2017 by pacificmustang 53 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 If there's a nicer RAF Airacobra model out there, well I haven't seen it. Bruce, that's just turned out amazingly well. All your excellent modelling skills have come to the fore with this build. The weathering is extremely realistic. Congratulations and well done..

Remy Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Looking very nice! Really like the weathering! I've recently received a Hasegawa 48th scale kit from a very good friend, didn't know which livery to build from this kit. Until now! Thanks for the inspiration! Remy.
