Above
is the newest ace in my collection. This is an old 1:48 Monogram kit I picked up
on eBay with decals from AeroMaster. Although there are numerous Russian
aces who flew Airacobras, I wanted to feature an American ace and the choices
were limited. Lt. Bill Fiedler may be the only U.S. ace who became an ace
in a P-39 Airacobra. He fought in the skies over Guadalcanal and was
tragically killed in a runway accident.
The kit in the background is my Iwamoto 1:48 Tamiya Zero doing double duty with
a little Photoshop tweeking of the serial numbers. The island/beach was
challenging but I wanted this dogfight to be on the deck.
