Tamiya's 1/48th Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat,USN,WWII
I got this kit not long after it was first released in 1994, up until then we only had Monograms Wildcat and don't recall if Otaki had one in 1/48? Built OOB except for the decals, which were Aeromaster set #48-149C. Fun to build, just a [...]

Two Hunter F-5s, done with the Aeroclub conversion for cockpit, seat, landing gear and tail cone from the Academy F.6. These are the two squadrons of Hunters based on Cyprus during the Suez Intervention in 1956 for defense of the island [...]
Son of Cobra II
Cobra II underwent several modifications including an engine change to the V-1710-143/145(G6). This engine was developed for the P-82 Twin Mustang. Charles "Chuck" Brown, an Allison test pilot, flew the re-named Cobra KF-1 in the [...]
Accurate Miniatures 1/48th A-36 Apache, WWII MTO
Since we had amazing run on Airacobra's, and I don't have one built yet to display, figure an early Mustang would be the next best thing. If I remember correctly this is AM first kit ever offered was the Apache, new approach, detailed [...]
Airacobra of a different color
Just thought I'd add something different to the Airacobra love fest. Test pilot Tex Johnson won the 1946 Thompson Trophy Race at an average speed of 373.908 mph.flying this aircraft.
Monogram P-39
Hey, can I jump in here also. The is the naughty scheme for the a P-39 of the 36th FS, 8th FG,out of New Guinea, 1943. I built for a guy that loved the markings. Overall the Monogram is still a very good kit. Particularly for it's age and [...]
Hasegawa's 1/48 Airacobra
This is the original-release kit from late 2006, a P-400. The kit is solely a P-400 in terms of the visible items (exhaust stacks and nose gun) so the alternatives are a P-39D, a P-39F or a P-39N, which all had similar exhausts. My [...]
Cobras? We got snakes on a desk here
This is Hasegawa's 1/48 Airacobra as a P-39Q, built when released in 2007.
The Bell P-39 "Airacobra" has mostly gotten a bad rap for events beyond its control, all stemming from the completely-idiotic decision by the Army Air [...]
Ceeping it Cobra-my kid’s P-400
Built a couple years ago, by my son Kyle. Hasegawa's nice 1/48 offering. an early New Guinea warrior. The P-400 being the designation for the British "reposessed" P-39's. The adoring pilots of these called them a "P-40 with [...]
Eduard 1/48th P-39
Figured I'd join in on today's "Airacobra-Pa-Looza". I built this one back in 2005, using Cutting Edge decals to depict a 35th Fighter Group machine flown by Lt. Roy Owen while based at Nadzab, New Guinea during the Fall of 1943. [...]
