    Nice progress on the seat, Spiros @fiveten.
    Are the seatbelts molded or did you add those.

    Thanks my friend @johnb! The seat belts are molded on, quite crisply might I add: I think they will look good after being painted.

    This is looking great, Spiros (@fiveten). Old Monogram kits still make great models, but sometimes they need a little "help" to get their old bones together. I have a P-39 that I want to build as one that flew in the Aleutians during WW2, but it is far down the build queue.

    Thanks my friend @gblair! Indeed, nothing is really wrong with old Monogram kits. Looking forward to yours!

    Very nice progress, Spiros @fiveten
    The cockpit looks great as well as the spinner.

    Hey Spiros (@fiveten)! She’s really looking good! Built my first one in the summer of 1971. Last one was the ProModeler release +/- 8ish years ago. Looking forward to seeing your “quiver” of ‘Cobras come together!

    Thanks my friends @johnb and @fuzzmann! Though now a classic (and, in a way, superseded by the newer Eduard and, especially, Hasegawa offerings), this kit still rocks!

    Nice work on the propellor and landing gear, Spiros @fiveten
    The brake lines do add a lot.
