stevej60 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Evening folk's next up on the table is Special Hobby's Mk1 Airacobra,I was at the Northern show last week and spied this kit on Kit's for Cash's stall for a cracking £30.I have to admit the P-39 is one of my favourite aircraft and to get it in this RAF boxing was a bonus I have a full build feature to reference in a past copy of MAI so I'm aware of the area's needing care,It'll be a slow burner as I've two other1/32 kit's on the go in our GB's and even re-visited the big Revell Heinkel 111 today which I'm trying to move on,anyway box art. And a fair amount of plastic in the box. A bonus in the box colour etched fret and hollowed resin exhaust's And finally lovely looking decal's and a comprehensive colour callout. Having built revell's re-boxing of their Seafire I'm aware just how good these "limited run" kit's are reading the build review all being well should be a substantial build when complete. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitfire Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Great choice, I also have a soft spot for the P-39, I built the SH kit as a US one and have the same kit as you in the stash as well as another SH kit with Soviet decals and just for variety I have the Kitty Hawk kit as well. Here's the US one Cheers Dennis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't have all the PE and resin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 Hi folk's,it was alway's going to be a slow build for the moment with three other 1/32 builds in a couple of our GB's.Anyway a start has been made with interior painting and the harness fitted.
