IanC Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 You're all far too cynical. 😀 There'll be outpourings of joy: 'Wow, I didn't expect a Bartel BM-4 but kudos to Arma!' 'It's not really my scene, but I'll probably buy at least three!' 'Fantastic - a Bf 109G-6' 'I called it! Fifteen pages back...' 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Boak Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 How big would a 1/72 Golden Gate Bridge be? Maybe it is 1/144? 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Boak Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Now we know - it's another P-39Q. Not even an early one. Unexciting choice, could have been better. Of course, the head of the Polish Air Force postwar flew one. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbolt Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Looking forward to this, finally a decent P-39 in 1/72nd scale. 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKinksFan Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Very pleased with this one, it's excatly what I was hoping for. Another P-39Q? There's the Academy kit that is over 20 years old, and RS, which is a short run kit, that no one really wants to build. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Thompson Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Nice! I like it, even if it isn't 1/43 scale. I'll have to buy at least one, just because it's by Arma. Props to those who predicted a P-39! John 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, not so hard to convert to early versions using parts from the now redundant Academy P-39’s in the stash (although, if history is any guide, other versions will follow). I for one am very excited about this. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, don't take it literally, I myself almost bought one. I don't mean that they are especially awful to build, what I mean is that most modellers shy away from short run kits. According to some reviews it's not that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seboo Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 From Arma's blog: The Arma Hobby model kit is the first new kit of this aircraft in wide production for over 20 years. In the box, you will find plastic parts of the model that allow you to build all combat versions of the aircraft from P-39D to P-39Q (including Airacobra Mk I and P-400). They will be available in various configurations in Arma Hobby’s offer in the following months. The kit includes painting masks for the canopy and wheels as well as metal balls to load the nose part (matching the appropriate sockets in the model).

AaCee26 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 That's great news! Arma continues picking up subjects, that are not yet served too well for the modelling society filling the gaps One of the subjects mentioned in the chain and also I saw potential Cheers, AaCee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ngantek Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Not really my thang, but perhaps a question for the P39-erati out there; Eric Brown's hooked AH574 might be fun subject; it seems to be an Airacobra I (P39C ish?) would that be reasonably easy from this kit?
