Bell P-39 Airacobra

Eduard 1/48 P-39N Airacobra

The model depicts an aircraft flown by Col. A.I Pokryshkin, CO 9.GIAD, Summer 1944. Although not up to the high standards of the kits that followed this issue, Eduard's Airacobra retains the poise of the real aircraft.

Arma Hobby Bell Airacobra Builds

Arma Hobby 1/72 P-39N
