I'm in love with him and waiting for him to turn down the stock in the warehouse and improve my modeling to buy it, they like to see it and more in your hands, eager to see how you do and know that I will be with handkerchief picking up the drool that will go falling

Stephane, your pics haven't been attached properly. Could you try do that again?

Nice start Steph. Since starting two P39s, I've grown to like the little beast, lots of options.

Did the Russian P-39 still carry the 37mm cannon in the prop hub or did they use the 20mm?

 

[le_steph40]

Apparently, they used the 37 mm canon on the P-39K. The 20 mm was used on P-39D-1
Thanks for the "like"

Hello,
Some work on the cockpit... It begins to be hard for me to glue the little photo-etched parts... I am beginning to grow old, I need glasses...!!!
