Special Hobby 1/32 Airacobra Mk.1/P-39F

Post by Paul »

Started this on tuesday, sadly not got any pics pf the cockpit build up, but i found it rather lacking and a bit boring so just wanted to get it built. Painted in Mr colour Grey Green and detail painted with Vallejo model colour, the included pe added some nice detail, and an added wash brought some of it to life. Fuselage went together, no real problems at all and shouldn't need to much filler, the wings on the other hands are going to need some attention :eeek:

Hey Paul, I've enjoyed your updates on this. It looks as though this kit has some fit issues. What's your opinion of it? I saw on facebook you used plasticard to compensate. Do you think this kit is worth the purchase?

Finally got this Ultimate black primered after working on this for a month, 3 weeks of which I've been working on seam line etc as it's a special hobby kit it needs some extra care and work. But it's worth it in the end.
