russ c Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Howdy Everyone, Finally managed to finish this one after a bit of a Boo-Boo on my part My latest attempt at Eduards 1/48 Airacobra kit Built from their New Guinea Dual-Combo boxing but with some different markings to the ones in the box I`d already done `Papuan Panic` a while ago but just couldn`t get inspired by the other options and this one is actually on the front page of the booklet provided but not on the sheet... Luckily I`d got an old sheet with it on and used those instead. The marking represent a P-39K, flown by Lt William McDonough, 40th FS/35th FG, based at Nadzab, New Guinea, 1943 Mostly from the box, drilled the exhausts out and had to cut the doors out as the super glue I used managed to severely fog the canopy and door windows. Meaning refitting the doors and much tidying up afterwards. Hope you enjoy the pic``s, thanks for looking Cheers Russ 46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aces High Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Great model and great photos, always looks so much better with a background. In this case though I agree that the model looks more real than the photo background! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
