It took a bit of discipline to get the job done and a slight change of way of doing things. Only that, and the achieved effect is more than satisfactory.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->I usually assemble models so that I try to do something every day. For example, one day, I mask the surfaces, and the next day I paint and clean the airbrush. Such small steps result in many completed models per year. In the case of Airacobra, I sped up the process by working 2-4 hours a day for a week. Let&#8217;s see how the model building process proceeded.<\/p>\n<h2>Model kit assembly<\/h2>\n<p>Time was running out for me, so I decided to paint the model in subassemblies, and that determined the order of the assembly process. I assembled the wings and the fuselage with the tail separately. I attached small details to the toothpicks to paint them at once. After painting these subassemblies, I assembled the model.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1590681\" src=\"http:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kobra-01-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kobra-01-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kobra-01-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kobra-01-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kobra-01-610x407.jpg 610w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kobra-01-1080x720.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kobra-01.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The model cockpit contains additional 3D printed parts that were available as a pre-order bonus for the model kit.

I applied the checkerboard decals after weathering to show the plane just after the markings were changed and before the progressive wear effects. We will write more about the history of this machine at armahobbynews.pl. Before applying the decal, I cut the film margin with the new Olfa blade to avoid silvering.<\/p>\n<h2>Notes after assembly<\/h2>\n<p>Putting the model together was a lot of fun. I went through all the stages one by one, the work was so enjoyable that sometimes I completely lost track of the passing time. The following notes will help you repeat this process and enjoy your finished model soon.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It is worth cutting the decal for the bottom panel in the cockpit (34) in the place of the protruding handles, it will be easier to apply it on the part number 9.<\/li>\n<li>The 3D printed machine guns&#8217; butts in the cockpit\u00a0 have a very tight fit. It is worth scraping the mating surfaces from paint before final assembly.<\/li>\n<li>During the front undercarriage leg assembly, its support is difficult to enter the tight well. The best idea is to sand the sides of the support base lightly and it goes almost with a click (assembly may be blocked by the paint layer and possibly lack of cleaning of the injection channel remains).<\/li>\n<li>Main landing gear wheels &#8211;
