For this GB I'll be building one of my favourite WWII fighters....
It's one it's way to me now - can't wait!
Cheers!

Great choice!
Re: A Cobra with a white tail...
Thanks Gents.
I've been trying to do some research one this one as my knowledge of the war in the pacific isn't brilliant - but I have to say I can't figure why this has got a white tail - as the images I can find of the FG don't show it. If anyone does know why it'd be great to know.

Re: A Cobra with a white tail...
White tails were adopted by land based Allied fighters in the south west Pacific theater as an air ID quick recognition feature. P-39’s, P-40’s, and P-47s all could be found with this coloring in 1943/44 in New Guinea and the Solomons. Also diagonal white stripes and leading edges could be marked on the wings as well.
