    Today I recived brand new kit P-39Q Airacobra from Arma Hobby. Kit looks very good! I preordered this model, and I have as a gift some 3d print parts, but unfortunetly all of them was broken after I opened the box. Kit has also some weight to nose, masks, and 5 diferent paitings. I hope it will be fun build.

    I open this thread also for people who have a special liking for US Navy boarding planes and others, whose names are associated with wild cats. In the near future, I count on a joint group building of cats (or maybe snakes - cobras too?). I have two Wildcats and a Hellcat in stock. I look forward to your response! If You will build some cats please paste here some your home real cats πŸ™‚

    Great idea and you started with an amazing kit, Bernard @lis
    This would be a beautiful topic to start your gift of the FM2 Wildcat from Arma Hobby once I have cleared my bench a bit.

    @johnb I don't know what kit I build first πŸ™‚ He will probably decide at the last minute. But as you correctly noticed, it would be good to clean the bench before we start building the aluminum cats πŸ™‚

    That kit has great reviews - as do every other Arma kit.

    @lis, we had a Year of the Cat group build here on iModeler a couple of years ago, and it was a great success, but if you’re including Cobras I’m happy to build an AC Cobra, would that count?

    Might be a bit confusing to have an AC in a pearl group?

    I'm already confused, maybe a new group is needed !

    As you noticed the group has been slightly refreshed. Due to the fact that I need some light, therapeutic project, I start the first construction of a cat. I hope You like it.
