An italian Airacobra
An italian Airacobra
As you know, americans gave some P-39 to the italian 'cobelligeranti'.
Were very heavily used aircrafts, but we fixed them and used a lot.
I will built an italian P-39, starting from the old but good Heller kit.

This is the box
All pieces seem good
I decide to engrave just some panels
Cut a door...
Cockpit isn't bad for it's age, but i added some things the same
After this afternoon of job...
Many things to do on wheels bay
I'm in summer holidays from yesterday, just two weeks. I will go nowhere, as usual, so... what better than modelling time ?

Yes, a little too fast off the mark Kruaxi nice start though, to your usual good standards on a classic kit.

Welcome aboard Kruaxi - premature or not!
A cracking start you have made there, nice additions to the cockpit.
Is this the one you are building?

That is looking really good Kruaxi. Not liking the hot weather over there in Italy? I'll swap you for this very bad British summer we are having!

Re: An italian Airacobra
When americans gave us these aircrafts, we discovered soon that they were almost wrecks... luckely, we had excellent mechanics...
I'm trying to reproduce a 'well used' airplane...
