    Hi everyone!
    Here is my Profipack kit of the P-39Q, that I decided to finish as an Italian bird, hence the entry to our beloved Italian 100 GB...

    More to come!

    Great entry of this enjoyable kit, Spiros @fiveten
    Great start already.
    Had the opportunity to built it myself and it was a pleasure to do so.
    Looking forward to see it in an Italian scheme.

    Here it is primarily sanded, and some bits assembled, together with the Monogram of the Pacific Group for comparison...

    Despite tha Monogram still being a godd kit, overall the Eduard is clearly superior in fact it is a superlative kit, even without its PE fret! The main wing leading and trailing edges look thick, with some judicious sanding taking care of it.

    interesting comparison of the ejector ports under the wings!

    Nice comparison and progress, Spiros @fiveten
    Might be worth to open up those ejector ports as noticed by Erik @airbum

    Thanks my friends @airbum and @johnb! The ejector ports at the Monogram are opened...

    ...and, in fact, it is really interesting to see all these little differences between the two kits.

    Looking much better this way, Spiros @fiveten
    The propellor shaft looks very fragile, something that requires a lot of care during the built.

    Thanks my friend @johnb! No worries: per my usual trend, I bravely cut off the prop shaft (in fact, this is the gun extension), to attach at later stages. Noway it would have survived my not necessarily delicate handling 🙂

    Last few drops of green in the tube? - Almost looks like they need filler in more or less the same places.
