Title: JGSDF Cobra
Post by: chriswil42 on January 18, 2024, 01:59:23 PM
I was going to start this at the playday but started early - in need of something more to do while other models in various stages of drying.

Steady progress there Chris.
Will your Cobra be finished in the attractive 'Cobra Snake' livery as shown on the box art?

Completed. The large cobra decals took three sessions and a fair bit of Microsol to position and flatten.
