Ayhan Toplu built our new 1/48th scale Airacobra very quickly and his model is very impressive.
Ayhan Toplu is an internationally renowned modeller. He runs his own modelling website Historical Wings.

This is the last model I built: Arma Hobby’s 48 scale P-39Q.
I didn’t encounter any issues in the building phase. Very good engineering and assembles well. I used Gunze Sangyo’s colors when painting the model. I used H302 for the cockpit, H27 for the top and H67 for the bottom layer.
As the airplane is located on a tropical island, the paint will have faded a lot. So I used oil paint and varied airbrush techniques to do the weathering.
I hope you will like the model and that you can get it yourself and build it as soon as possible.
It is interesting to compare the models of the same aircraft made by Ayhan and Marcin Ciepierski. Ayhan made a heavily used aircraft with solid weathering, while Marcin made a rather new and clean one.
