Eduard 1/48 P-400 Airacobra


Recommended Posts

This one was built from an initial Eduard boxing (2000) so I added their etch set to it and CMK exhausts, the heavy weathering was guided from reference of the same aircraft, these things got real dirty over in the Guadalcanal.

Very nicely done. Do you have the image you used to guide your weathering? I’d love to see it!

 

Interesting story about the P-400 and how it ended up getting back to US service after being built as an export model.

yes very interesting, it seems they were literally taken off the ship and put back into US service! Here’s the pics below gathered from various sites on the Internet. Hope they’re of interest
