pacificmustang Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 G’day All This one is from a few years ago, but I don’t think I ever posted it here. Its the Kittyhawk P-39Q converted to an RAF Airacobra 1, by way of using Mastercaster fishtail exhausts. I had planned to replace the kit 37mm with a 20mm and leave the gun bay open, but in the end could not satisfy myself with the details The kit had a few issues fit wise, nothing too major, but from memory the wings needed shimming. Markings we’re painted on using a mask set from Maketar for the SH kit. Theres a few flaws in the build, but it remains one of my favourites. thanks for looking Bruce denders, Michael931080, LSP_Kevin and 44 others 47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmayhew Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 the paint work looks very catching there are a few areas where the construction looks a bit dodgy eg rear canopy join to vertical frame which does not look great in the close-up 3rd pic - was this bad fit?
