Geoffroy Toillié (Rogue2332) tells us the story of the P-400s used by the Americans at Guadalcanal. To illustrate his article, he has built Eduard''s 1:48 scale P-400 kit which was photographed in an appropriate setting.

Well done, Geoffroy! I envy you for your "Pacific Theatre Garden" to make these great photos. Maybe I see the Cobra live next weekend in Merchweiler???

The last pictures were taken on an other diorama which in fact looks more like Guadalcanal than the other one because of the earth color.

Here is a picture with the Guadalcanal based Wildcat on this black earth diorama :
