Hi all

Back to the workbench and a chance to open the lid on my next build project - Eduard's 1/48 scale Bell Aircacobra Dual Combo. As you'd expect, two of everything means a big box, stuffed to the brim!



Decal options cover 3 aircraft from RAF 601 Sqn (strictly speaking 2 are marking variations of the same a/c) and no less than 4 Soviet machines. One of my family's friends when I was a child had actually flown the Airacobra during it's brief RAF service, so this build will be a personal tribute to him.

A Dual Combo kit! Can I really both a 601 Sqn a/c and one of the other options together? Andy managed a double-build with his superb L-39C Albatross Sisters. If I can follow his great example, I'll have definitely overcome my "builder's block"!

All the best

Rowan

Nice one Rowan, but isn't this just another excuse not to do your FM Halifax my shorts seem safer every week

I'm still working up a head of steam for the Big Build... But I have a plan of attack now... it basically involves starting the beast!

All the best
