TEMPESTMK5 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Good evening For this Gb I started today the P39 Q Rsmodels http://www.ipmsdeutschland.de/FirstLook/RS_models/RS_Bell_P-39Q-25/RS_Bell_P-39Q-25.html I am going to represent an aircraft of the Groupe de Chasse 2/9 Auvergne of the French Air Force in 1945 Some books I started to paint some parts in Interior Green I will replace the seat by a Tamiya P 47 Thunderbolt seat Patrice 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc72 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Funny, we are building exactly the same aircraft in the same scale. The only difference so far is that I shied away from using the RS kit and choose Academy instead. I am still not sure if this was a wise move, so I am highly interested to see how you get along with the RS kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good evening Doc I think that the Academy kits is probably more easy to build and more detailed but it is said that it has some issues ..

trickyrich Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 welcome aboard Patrice, you managed to sneak this one in without me noticing...........well thats my excuse. It's good to see another 1/72nd scale beauty, the GB seems to have been taken over by the bigger scale models. Good luck with the build, I glad you could join us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc72 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 The resin exhausts look good. How is the kit's fit so far? The interesting parts in this respect will be the fuselage halves and the clear parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
