1/72 Academy P-39Q Airacobra

Gallery Article by Drewe Manton

 

This is the Academy Airacobra, I built it as a "slammer" in six days as a break from working on the Spit VB conversion. It is more or less SFTB, the only additions were seatbelts and to drill out the nose gun ports and use rod for the gun barrels.

Paint is Extracolor, decals are from the kit and weathering is pastel. A quick and fun addition to the model shelf and a lovely little model to make as well!

Enjoy the photos.
