  Subject: Airacobra ace

  Steve:

  Attached 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.
