The P-39Q Airacobra – the newest 1\/72 scale model kit in our offer – is the next step in the development of Arma Hobby. The project was done right after the Mustang, and I tried to incorporate the experience from this model kit into it.<\/p>\n

It was a huge challenge for me to work out the interior of the front of the fuselage to fit all the details that are visible there. An additional difficulty were those, already famous on the Internet, “balls of steel”. Thanks to the smart division into parts, it was possible to reproduce many important details such as the engine shaft, the bottom of the cannon with its mounting hardware and ammunition feeders, ammunition boxes for fuselage mounted .50 MGs, the wall between this compartment and the cockpit with niches for rudder pedals, the shelf with front-wheel recess, frame and rear wall of the wheel bay. Everything was detailed with rivets and spars. The upper shelf with a relief imitating the cannon is also a \u201chome\u201d for three steel balls to balance the model.<\/p>\n

The cockpit interior uses more standard solutions known from our model kit line. As always, I wanted to make as much out of plastic as possible within the limits of the technology at our disposal. Zbyszek completed the work by designing great decals for the cockpit.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
