  1. This latest completion was kind of built alongside the Heller P-39Q and I finally think I understand a little bit about the differences between the different P-39 variants. This is the HobbyBoss Easy Kit version of the P-39N in Soviet markings. HobbyBoss also sell this kit as a P-39Q and they seem to be as confused about the differences between variants as I was. The P-39Q has the underwing gun tubs but no guns in the wings themselves. The N has two guns per wing and no gun tubs. The HobbyBoss kit would have you fit the gun tubs to the wings which also have two guns per side. Leave off the tubs and fill the locating holes for an N, cut off the wing guns and use the tubs for a Q. The Q-25 and later had a 4-bladed prop, which is in the Heller kit, but not the HobbyBoss. I stuffed as much weight in the nose as I could, and sanded flat spots on the tyres to move the pivot point backwards and the model just barely sits on its three gear legs. This meant giving up any idea of having a spinning prop, it's glued on solid.
  2. Here is my interpretation of Rechkalov`s P-39N-0 Airacobra, serial 428747, Spring 1944 (as I imagine it before tail exchange and "RGA" inscription on fuselage appearance). My assumptions for "how this aircraft should look like": - cannon and guns barrels in tubular covers, wing machine guns present! - no US radio, but antenna wires remain, - silver-grey propeller blades with Hamilton-Standard marks and inscriptions, - white dot on left doors (center of gravity mark), - white front wheel caps, - interior surfaces in "Bell Green" (cockpit, engine, gear covers and gear struts) and Zinc Chromate Yellow (flaps and gear bays), - red tail tip and spinner (standard in Rechkalov`s unit at this time), - "new" Soviet red stars with white-red borders, painted directly on original American stars. 1/72 Academy kit + Part PE set + Aires/Quickboost resin engine, exhaust and main wheels + AML decals. Painted with Lifecolor acrylics.
