RU sure that's not airbrushed? Very, very nice model and nice to see one not in VVS markings for a  change. How well did the kit go together, if you don't mind my asking? 👍

Mike

Good morning Mike

 Thank you for your comment ...

Well I must say that the build it is not as easy as a Tamiya kit and I had to use some putty in some places ...

Below is the link to a french forum where I posted my build

Patrice,

 

Thank you for sharing your WIP. Was that a combo with two kits in one box? Was not aware that Dora did a 2-kit boxing! I always liked the all white P-63 racer sponsored by Mobil Oil that Charles Tucker flew in a couple of different configurations, as well as Tex Johnston's P-39's. At that time, a surplus single-engine fighter could be had for $750-1500 and if you blew the engine or crashed, you could always get another!

Mike

 

He also had a P-63 with standard span wings and P-80 wingtip tanks for the Bendix cross country races.
