Alan P Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 (edited) Build thread is HERE! (click) Used loads of resin parts from Cobra Company and Fireball Modelworks, together with FM's excellent decals. Painted with a mix of acrylics, enamels and pastels. I reckon it's the canopy that makes it, a singularly wonderful vacform piece from Werner's Wings. The first pic is courtesy of Farnborough IPMS site Here are some more pics of the finished article which hopefully convey the extra details I've added with the resin and scratchbuilt details in the cockpit and airframe. Finally got that modeller's block out of the way..... Cheers, Al Edited June 23, 2019 by Alan P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Ogilvie Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 (edited) Crikey - I know of the Revell beast of which you speak - and I'm impressed by the outcome - very nice! Assume you've replaced the canopy, amongst other things? Iain EDIT - Doh - I *really* should read posts fully before applying digit to keyboard - I'd not have asked about the canopy. But - yes - makes a big difference Edited July 15, 2010 by 32SIG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stéphane Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Hello, Gorgeous Cobra, especially knowing what a dog of a kit the Revell one is ... Beside, having Col. Kilgore right near it is also a nice touch. Pretty cool indeed, Cheers Stef (#6) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzH Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Amazing! just great work, not really into American Choppers, unless of course they are in Army Air Corps, RN or RAF colours, but this is a real teaser, looks great. I really don't get it sometimes, I totally missed the entire build thread! I always use the "View New Posts" options when I come onto BM, but missed your thread one all together!

Alan P Posted July 18, 2010 Author Share Posted July 18, 2010 (edited) Thanks very much for looking, and the very nice comments It's a great feeling to rehabilitate a kit that's older than yourself! I look forward to trying it again. Edited July 20, 2010 by PHaTNesS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
