OK. This is my last in my stash (but for sure not last at all ) Arma Hobby model. This time I’m going to build P-400 from New Guinea. So:
the model
add-ones (decals, PE and resin parts):
Till now I glued some parts and used some PE parts:
and I painted interior:
I used Ammo A.MIG No 221 paint as ZCY and Tamiya XF-26 as Bell Green.
Stay tuned

Good luck with the Cobra build, Andy! Will follow as always. Is the balance weight included in the kit or is it aftermarket?
In my old 1/48 Eduard Cobras the weight is included but not so in the later ones.

Torsten, the 3 metal balls are included in the kit and they are perfectly fit in the special holes in plastic part.

The rudder looks repairable from here, Andy. Mishaps happen to me all the time …
Camo looks great!

I know, Torsten Now it’s even better because the vertical stabilizer is in Olive Drab and now will be easier to paint it
