Sorted Sir !

Cool. Soviet Airacobra is definitely on my to do list in the future.

Karl, very nice, the mid-engine P-39 was a great ground attack aircraft but any shot from the side or back was going to hit the cooling system and lack of a supercharger limited altitude. Nonetheless the Soviets did great with them having the highest number of individual kills with this bird

Sorted Sir !

Looking forward to it Karl!

I was hoping someone would do a P-39. Great choice.

Cheers,

I did an eduard in the Med build Karl. Nice kit, the Eduard, but im not sure about the Monogram.

monogram is quite good, though a bit old with raised panel lines, but you get a detailed gun bay in the nose !

thought it was you who did the P-39, had a rabbit on it if i remember ?

Good to see a P-39 in it Karl.
