Hi guys,

 

here is my latest build, The Eduard P 39 N in 1/48, an old but nice kit.

Your model has the authentic look of a well used combat veteran.

Beautiful weathering!  Did you rivet the kit?

Impressive looking P-39. Those rivets look very subtle, well done 👍

 

It does make me feel old when you refer to this kit as old 😉

Hi Manu,

I can only echoe all these comments. It looks amazing in this sceme. Especially love this subtle weathering. Nothing overdone....perfect.

Did you add some rivets there? 
Thx for sharing!

Hi guys,

 

I've corrected the squadron insigna on both doors.

What the others have said! I especially liked the faded fabric control surfaces with the darker metal trim tabs, as well as the paint scoured off of the rear faces of the prop blades- very often missed on many builds but really enhances the look of the finished model. Well done!

Hello Manu,

Very good P-39, I love that painting finish !!

Congrats !

Is that one of the P-39 used for training in North Africa ?

Or did they used it in actual combat ?

Sincerely.
