**** DONE: 1/48 P-39-K-1 - Allied Manufactured Aircraft

[le_steph40]

Hello,
Thank you for the comments here is some work. 30mm canon in the propeller spinner is done. To the left is for P-39K and to the right is for P-39N.
I re-engraved some wrong panel lines on the undersides and filled a panel line in the wing tips with cyanoacrylate.

I searched in my docs but not sure regarding the ID lights on P-39K and N under the starbord wingtips ??? I found some photos with it and others without... I read somewhere that only the US P-39K-L-M-N and Q had it, not the Soviet P-39's...
Any info for me please ?

Nicely done Steph. Although it's a -Q version, the P-39 in the Finnish museum doesn't have any lights under the wing.

Very nice pre-shading. Can't wait to see what you do with weathering!
As far as my research goes, the USSR didn't use anything from the decadent west that would call attention overtly to aircraft until around late 1944. So lights, probably... no.
They were funny that way...
