The old but gold kit depicting one of the aircraft flown by Alexander Ivanovich Pokryshkin. He scored 48 victories while flying P-39's including this one. Bio here...(link) Can't say enough about the fit of the aircraft, a bit of filler [...]
This is the third model in my model-building career. This P-39 represents the 46th fighter squadron that was stationed at Kanton Atoll from the spring of 1943 through December 1943. The sand and light blue camouflage pattern was painted [...]
First finish of 2022 which started in 2021.

My oldest brother Pedrinho (82 [...]
1/48 Eduard P-39N Airacobra Profipack kit. I just finished this today. While looking through my stash last month I found this kit partially built in the box. I had started it in 2014 and then put it away probably because I really don't [...]
Built in 2015.
Eduard kit, painted with Gunze and Tamiya paints, the Azure is from Model Master.
Some discussion about the camo paints of these planes. As far as I know they were initially built for and delivered to the Brits but not [...]
From the limited Edition Air-A Cutie boxing. A fairly easy kit to build for the most part. Much easier to build than the Eduard P-400 but with less detail (I had built an Eduard P-400 Profipack kit over a decade ago), but if I had to [...]
