Re: Draken's Civilized Cobra
Nice work, your improvements really help bring it on. Must invest in the punch and die set and some of Mike's decals too.

Re: Draken's Civilized Cobra - *** FINISHED ***
I finished it in time (barely...) !!!
Not one of my best to say the truth, I'm not really happy with the canopy frames.
The decals were a bit of a disappointment as they don't have all the markings and some are wrong (the 'danger' arrow sign should be white, not red).
But it still is a different looking Cobra.
And this is also the first GB I finish!!!! So tonight I'll pop a bottle of spumante to celebrate!!
Here it is:
Hope you like it and, as always, thanks for looking.
Cheers,
Eugenio

Very nice, you wouldn't take it for the Matchbox kit in that scheme.
Re: Draken's Civilized Cobra - *** FINISHED ***
It looks very strange not having the nose cannon or rocket pods on the wings.
It also look very nice. That's a great job!

Great looking Cobra. It does look strange without the weapons though.
