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 [...]

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. [...]
KOMRADE ‘KOBRA!
See! I can play this game, too!
This is the Hasegawa 1/48 P39N/Q kit, built OOB with tape harness. I used an Aeromaster AM sheet to depict a VVS machine that served not one but 2 aces, one after the other. This is the mount for the first [...]
P-39s you say? OK. Here’s a 1/48 Eduard P-39Q-6
Done "awhile back" like Bill's, this is the Eduard P-39 kit done as a tactical-reconnaissance field conversion P-39Q-6.
The P-39 came early to the New Guinea campaign, with the first aircraft arriving at Port Moresby's Five Mile [...]
A Pacific Devil-P-39Q
One of my "Built a while agos"... Eduard's 1/48 P-39Q. The Q model was the last of the line, featuring underwing .50 cals in pods. Many users removed these, especially the Russians who were it's major operator. "Devastating [...]
F-105D Flown by Colonel Robert L.Stirm, USAF Ret. POW
Col. Stirm is another member of our little "Military Mafia" lunch group that meets each week to solve the worlds problems. It is indeed my privilege and honor to know him and call him my friend. Our lunch group has an interesting [...]
AD-6 of VA-165, USS Oriskany, 1962
This was built from the Tamiya kit using AeroMaster decals. Aside from the decals I built this out of the box. I have no idea of who the pilot was or any further history of the airplane. I just liked the scheme. I left it rather clean as I [...]
