The rocket pods are installed. At the time of the Desert Storm photo, the Whiskey Cobra was armed with Stinger missiles.The kit only had Hellfire rockets so that is what was used. Now I'm trying to paint the tail rotors showing the effects of the sand blasting wear. Gary S.

The Whiskey Cobra didn't have much markings, but I had to piece together them from different decal sheets. Started on the task of decaling the rockets. I also made a tail stinger out of a piece of wire. Gary S.

Wow!! Very nice. Gary S.

Looks great!! Gary S.

The decals were applied without too much trouble. They are homemade by printing one the last of my clear decal sheet. I tried sizing them as best I could. I think they are a bit oversized. The "Sand Shark" on the right side was hand drawn in pencil and then filled in with a fine tipped Sharpe...

The cow catcher looks amazing. I've often wondered if using a window blind wand which has a hex shape, Could it be heat stretched like one would do with spruce and then sliced to make nuts. Gary S.

One of the things I like about raised panel lines is that when a black coat of paint is applied first, a light sand ing with very fine sandpaper brings out the panels nicely. It also weather's the paint some. Gary S.

The weather finally warmed up some in order to paint the W model. Yesterday the darker brown was sprayed on using Restore flat brown. This morning the tail boom was painted Slate Gray acrylic craft paint. In the process of un taping, I broke off the upper antenna and lost it. It might in the...

The Centaur was probably added last. We had a stemple that we used. Also the teeth are not done in the original pattern. The above Cobra was the first ship painted with Centaur teeth. The translation is #1 Mother F'er. This Cobra is after my time when my unit moves to Phu Bai up in I Corps on...

But wait!! There's even more Cobras. Finished the sand color on the W model this AM. The 1/32nd Cobra was built when I was in Nam so it is over fifty years old. The remaining three are over forty years old. Gary S.
