iModeler Review: Arma Hobby 1/48 P-39Q Airacobra
Arma Hobby has just announced a 1/48 scale model kit of the Bell P-39Q Airacobra. This entirely new product is a welcome addition to the company's emerging quarter-scale range.
I was privileged to examine the kit on the day of its public [...]
My 2023 Builds
It has been a while since my last post so I figured I better get my wheels rolling again. A little late on posting my builds from 2023 but here they are.
A little different year for me but happy with the results. I had my usual fun [...]
P-39s Airacobra and lead corrosion
Eduard's 1/48 P-39 Airacobra variants are excellent kits that are well detailed and look like the famous aircraft when assembled. I took out these models from my display cabinet where they rested for two decades.
As I was photographing the [...]
Arma Hobby 1/72 P-39N
Love these Arma Hobby kits, even though they are a tad over-engineered. It probably took me about as much time to get the interior finished and the fuselage closed up, as it did all the rest of the process! The kit comes with a great set [...]
Arma P-39Q Airacobra 1/72 scale
With all the (apparently well-deserved) excitement about the release of the long-awaited 1/48 scale Arma Hurricane, I submit the following to show what really terrific kits Arma makes in the smaller scale, too.
This is my third Arma kit. [...]

For an aircraft with such a bad reputation, it was flown by several Air Forces. The VVS could not get enough of the Kobra, Over 4500 P-39s were supplied to the Soviets. Australia received a few and both the Free French and Italian [...]
Pro Modeler 1/48 P-39Q Airacobra
The origins of the Airacobra can be traced back in 1937, when USAAC issued a specification calling for a single-engine high-altitude interceptor. The aggressive specifications called, among others, for a liquid-cooled Allison engine [...]
Revell 1/72 Bell P-39 Airacobra
Not too long ago I really enjoyed the build of Revell's old 1/72 F4F-4 Wildcat. The Wildcat did need a little work to bring it up a bit but I just loved the whole build. So after building a few Matchbox kits in a row, I decided to give [...]
Eduard P-39N Airacobra, 1/48. 'Lend-lease Ace Maker'.
I got this kit to be a bit of a quicker build and recover some mojo, and it's generally been a fun build. Whilst the kit is for American P-39Qs, the Eduard set comes with the parts for any of the versions. Foxbot and Montex was used to [...]
Hasegawa, 1:48 Scale P-400, "Airacobra"
This is the Hasegawa 1:48 scale P-400. Nice kit. Goes together very well, has really nice detail inside and out. Even the doors fit without too much tweaking. A friend of mine, Nick Buro, was a crew chief on these birds. He was asked [...]
