| Absolutely gorgeous! It's been out of production for some time, when did you get the kit?
The Cobra was not exactly the "Iron Dog" in the hands of well trained pilots. Now that we have access to the GPW pilot diaries we know that the Russians absolutely loved their Cobrushka's and their top aces got most of their kills in them. Cobras were always used by the Russians as low-altitude air superiority fighters, not for tank busting as our news reports said. Another telling thing is that the Cobra was the only Russian fighter that the Finnish fighter pilots absolutely feared even after they had switched to Bf-109s. (See the Finnish air force web site.)
I have to wonder if any Cobra in Russian service was ever this pristine.
Beautiful job! |

| Ditto to that moostang51, Ihave greatly improved my builds due to Davids tutoring and informative writings! |

| Mr. Duckett...er David is "the man". I fully appreciate his sharing his techniques as he has made me a better model builder. Check out the stages of his builds. He basically walks you through the process. A "free" tutor is pretty hard to find today. Thanks DD. |

| Thanks John. The short answer is to double all the stringers on the fuse and usually triple them on the wing. There are hundreds of photos on here of my planes in all stages of their construction and they should illustrate just about all my techniques. And yes you can see the stringers, it's part of the charm, but I also have a long time interest in photography. I do not alter the images I post here except to crop them and as you might expect with a digital camera, I take lots more than I post. |

| Another stunning job Dave. I'm sure you've been asked this before, but how do you get such a smooth finish on your planes? You can't even tell there are stringers forming the structure. |

To show the tank and landing gear more clearly |

| Now,how many fighters did you ever see with a "door" entrance like that?
Must have been taken from a Cietron car! |

| Very nice work. I've also got the B-25 kit, so I will be following your build of that closely :) |
| Xanadu, Comment for image # 2980 | 25 May 07 19:18 |
| Awesome David!
The B-25 should be great, can hardly wait to see it coming along. |

| Looks like you cast the landing gear again. Super job on the detailing. |

| Thanks, Brian. Up next is the Guillows B 25. |
| David Duckett, Comment for image # 2978 | 25 May 07 13:56 |
| Thanks, James. It's the best one until I get the next one done. |

| One of your best David...I can't wait to see what is in the works now. AWESOME!... Brian |
| jgood, Comment for image # 2978 | 25 May 07 12:08 |
| Wow. This looks like the best one yet, David. The detail is quite something. Great colours too. |
| David Duckett, Comment for image # 2978 | 25 May 07 08:09 |
| Thank you, Chris! It's heavy, too, nearly 9 ounces.
