Hello colleagues!

My long-term dream to assemble “Airacobra” has come true. My choice fell on the P-400 “Wahl Eye Il/Pat” of Lieutenant Eugene Well, 39th Fighter Squadron of the 35th Fighter Group, Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, May 1942.

I used the following additional sets:

  • a set for etching by Eduard;
  • recess of the main chassis by Vector (resin);
  • Connections by Quickboost (resin).

Additional works conducted during the assembly of the model:

  • opening of the propeller spinner has been fixed;
  • covers of the main landing gear and their thickness have been fixed;
  • lugs for the antenna’s thread have been added;
  • pilot’s hindsight has been remade;
  • lines of hydraulic were added to the landing gear (wire);
  • the barrels on the wings and bonnet have been remade (stretched molding tree);
  • the gun barrel propeller spinner has been rekindled;
  • elevating and direction rudders have been separated. As a result, we have visible (drilled) holes of the power set of the keel and stabilizers, the demolished feathers thickness, simulated twill tapes;
  • demolished thickness of wings’ feathers;
  • added pointing and simulated staves (reviter).

P-400 Airacobra model is painted with Tamiya acrylic.

Pleasant watching to everyone, with respect to you.
