Popular Post Rod bettencourt Posted August 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 1, 2022 Hello all, This is my ICM 1H-1G (early) Cobra with Quinta Cockpit. I used a mix of Model Master and AK paints. I also used the Microdesign exterior photoetch set. This aircraft represents the Executioner of the 235th flown by Capt Lou Bouault out of Daub Ting Vietnam 1969. This was my first ICM kit and I have to say it was pretty good! I used the kits decals which went on fantastic. All photos were taken with my Iphone. As you can see by the indoor pics I am no photographer! The base was built and Designed by Master base maker Tony Quartaro. Thanks for looking. Rod 79 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cifenet Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Looks awesome! Very realistic, I had to look at it several times to check if this is the real thing or not! Nice job! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdrianMF Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Very realistic. Could have fooled me with the outdoor shots! Regards, Adrian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Totally convincing, and the weathering is just poetry! I also got the initial impression that the natural light shots were of the full size machine… Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnT Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Mrs T and friend looking over my shoulder and asked “Are you looking at photos of aeroplanes again?” I had to prove it was a model. Their response was a genuine jaw drop. So that’s an 11 out of 10 then 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelh Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 As usual with your models I fell into the trap of thinking the initial photos were of the original even to the point of admiring the quality of the original Kodachrome slides. You got me again. But as ever the model speaks for itself. Near perfect 👌. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
