Looks good. Hadn't thought about the Airacobra in British colors. It'll be a bit different.

The kit construction has stopped for a couple of weeks (school starts in a week
)
Update when I find time, that means in 3 or 5 days
Cheers Nick

Very nice build, I'm looking forward to seeing this finished. I haven't got this kit, yet, but I'm now on the lookout for it.

Thank you very much Mr. Mal
It's a great kit but I didn't like the plastic details in the cockpit (the p.e. in the kit update the cockpit detail very much, I have also thined the plastic pilot's seat with the multi-tool because it was too fat) (An' other think I didn't liked is the fit of fuselage-wings, a lot of filler, sanding & rescribing
) But the kit is overall great and I definetly recommend it

Nicely done, Nick! A very nice scheme- love the earth banding around the green. That's a big model- I'm too used to 1/48, I guess.
Cheers!

Your build looks great Nick, I can't wait to see some more pics with the base finished as well. My one is still in the stash, but I have brought it towards the top now that I've seen your build.
Cheers, D

Thank you very much Mr. Damian
I wrote some cons about this kit but I forgot another one: The canopy fit is pretty bad
