Bell P-39 Airacobra

Monogram P-39

Hey, can I jump in here also. The is the naughty scheme for the a P-39 of the 36th FS, 8th FG,out of New Guinea, 1943. I built for a guy that loved the markings. Overall the Monogram is still a very good kit. Particularly for it's age and [...]

Hasegawa's 1/48 Airacobra

This is the original-release kit from late 2006, a P-400. The kit is solely a P-400 in terms of the visible items (exhaust stacks and nose gun) so the alternatives are a P-39D, a P-39F or a P-39N, which all had similar exhausts. My [...]

Cobras? We got snakes on a desk here

This is Hasegawa's 1/48 Airacobra as a P-39Q, built when released in 2007. The Bell P-39 "Airacobra" has mostly gotten a bad rap for events beyond its control, all stemming from the completely-idiotic decision by the Army Air [...]

KOMRADE ‘KOBRA!

See! I can play this game, too! This is the Hasegawa 1/48 P39N/Q kit, built OOB with tape harness. I used an Aeromaster AM sheet to depict a VVS machine that served not one but 2 aces, one after the other. This is the mount for the first [...]

P-39s you say? OK. Here’s a 1/48 Eduard P-39Q-6

Done "awhile back" like Bill's, this is the Eduard P-39 kit done as a tactical-reconnaissance field conversion P-39Q-6. The P-39 came early to the New Guinea campaign, with the first aircraft arriving at Port Moresby's Five Mile [...]

A Pacific Devil-P-39Q

One of my "Built a while agos"... Eduard's 1/48 P-39Q. The Q model was the last of the line, featuring underwing .50 cals in pods. Many users removed these, especially the Russians who were it's major operator. "Devastating [...]
