Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 Hello here arecthevphoto’s as promised. I added the prop tonight after i took the photos. Im probably going to add the drop tank rack. Make it out of finer brass bent to shape or use the kits ? Probably not the tank, unless i can find a photo of one being used.

Did all Ns have the nose mounted MGs? Surprised Hobby Boss missed that, they actually have some nice detail on the wings/fuselage, indents for MGs would seem a major feature to just forget about.

Yes they did, here is a link to a restored “N”. https://www.skytamer.com/Bell_P-39N.html Though the RAF version is actually a “D” I believe which was also listed as a P-400 in USAAF service. https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Airacobra_601_Sqn.JPG#mw-jump-to-license Even the P-39Q had nose guns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, good to know. No pin vise here in Calgary, so we'll see what I do about that on mine... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
