Hi folk's,an old build that escaped a recent cull was my first ever attempt at an Eduard kit,built about eight years

ago before my first foray's into airbrushing I found a colour photo of a trials aircraft hence it's scheme,she was a bit

worse for wear but a wash down and repair has done wonder's.

Looks good, Steve. Was it a 'tail sitter'?

Oh yes Vinnie!

 

I tried one of these in my apostate days, before returning to the One True Scale; the specimen that fell into my hands came with a cast zinc (?) weight tailored to fit in the nose and the first precut Eduard masks I'd ever seen.  Lovely kit apart from that awful thick/flat trailing edge, don't know how that made it out the door.  

 

Lovely model, Steve.  The Airacobra looks good in RAF colours even if it didn't perform to RAF standards.
