Hi supercobra, LOL...

The originial pictures were shoot by Randy Smith in 2003. I have a lot of this pictures saw on ARC aircraftresourcecenter.com. So, are you Randy Smith?

Vasilij, you have a GREAT eye for detail. Congratulations on a fantastic build, and thank you for posting the pics to share.

Not to hijack the thread but yes, I've got a pretty good start on making a pair of turned exhaust.

Back to the thread - looks awesome - you caught all of the nit noid details that bug me.  Looks awesome!  Only one thing left - open up the bottom of the turret - there is no bottom cover. 

Welcome to the forum.  Awesome build!  You and Andy (Intruder Bass) must be related.  I love all the scratchbuilt stuff.  Aftermarket items are great, but sometimes it's nice to build it yourself.  Thanks for sharing!

Wow, I must say that is not only the best Cobra I have seen here, but it would arguably be the best model I have seen here, period.  That TOW rack looks real and I seriously thought this was a joke, being someone posted a real Cobra and passed it off as a model.  I just saw one of these up close, and with it fresh in my mind, your accuracy is impeccable.  Please show more pics, that is truely a piece of art.  And the squadron choice is perfect!  Well done, Mike.

Hi, Chris

Thank you! Here a few pictures of the scratchbuild:

Great job on the Wiskey Cobra.  It looks lean and mean and ready to fight.  I like your weathering, and that very busy looking cockpit.  I bet some of those scratch built details are there in the pit. The weapons racks look great. 

Plus, your english is just fine.  Unfortunately, I cannot congradulate you in your own language.  Thanks for learning ours and thanks for sharing pictures of your build.

Semper Fi,

Chris
