mattcour Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Great P-39. I was really surprised when I had read in a magazine that the Russians made a better use of the aircraft than the Allies. You definitely have a good capture of it under Russian markings.

LSP_Ray Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 One of the reasons they made better use of the P-39 was the nature of the combat on the Eastern front. Most of it was held at much lower altitudes. The P-39 is pretty good at low altitudes but it has no supercharger for high altitudes. That 37mm cannon also made it good for ground attack. So the Russians liked them and made good use of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaro Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Great model! Love the restrained weatherig of the airframe. Maybe the wheels look 'too new' to my taste but may be fine as well. Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

66misos Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) Hi Miloslav, beautiful Cobra. This is the first one I see from you. Do you have a photo showing this particular aircraft? Kitty Hawk instructions & decals are not very correct. If you do not mind I would like to add some notes: - Soviets removed underwing guns from Q versions. Nose guns were considered powerful enough while underwing gun gondolas were considered a death mass having negative impact to maneuverability. - Q versions had silvergrey prop blades with black stencils and without yellow tips, - at the tip of the prop spinner the tubular cover of the cannon is missing, - check the position of the shorter part of the antena vire, This plane should belong to 213 giap (former 508 iap), Spring/Summer 1945. - at the port side door should be Alexander Nevskij Order emblem while Guard emblem was only at the starboard side door. - diagonal white stripe at the tail seems to be too wide. - every Cobra coming to SU had yellow serial number at the tail. At some regiments they repainted it with local paints - soviet green AMT-4 at the tail would be a nice detail. For those who interested more info & pictures is at Cobras from 213 giap Regards, 66misos Edited October 3, 2021 by 66misos dennismcc, Miloslav1956 and Kagemusha 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
