Air Racing in 1/100 Scale

I recall a thread from a while back (that I apologize for not also recalling the name of the member responsible for it) that showcased a bunch of really nicely made air racing types.
I've collected quite a number of air racer models to date to which I can add my own repaints which I'll post as I build them in this thread.

We'll start with this one: Major Charles Tucker and the General Petroleum Co purchased an ex USAAF Bell P-63 King Cobra and modified it for racing. The most drastic mod was chopping a massive EIGHT FEET off each wing and cutting down the tailplane as well.
It was flown in several Thompson Trophy events but it's racing career seemed to plagued by ill luck.

This is one of my repaints and is based the S&P kit. I'll submit to Ecards if anyone would like a copy to build.
