Here is my latest, the 1/32 scale Air Cobra by ICM. ICM sent me this kit to build, I had never built an ICM kit before and I have to say it was great, only negative was the thin decals but other than that the molding is terrific, no flash, [...]
Continuing on a theme of Army fixed wing aircraft in Vietnam, I selected this 1/72 scale Clear Prop model of the low-level, reconnaissance Mohawk. Requirements came from the US Army and its cockpit canopy is all utilitarian, looking a [...]
1/72 Monogram, built in 2019 - 2020 for the Teeth & Fangs GB, more pic's and details there.
