I'm waiting for the 1/18 Airacutie. I'll just tell my wife that she "inspired" the build and the nose art reminds me of her.

Re: P-39 Airacobra Group Build

	So, a question related to the XFL-1 Airbonita - Is scratchbuilding the only route to this one or is there a conversion kit in any scale? John My home page: http://yolo.net/~jeaton/index.html To see the build reports of my GB models, go here: http://yolo.net/~jeaton/mymodels/mymodels.htm

LOL! Yeah, he got alittle intense didn't he......
Nah..... I'll share the hat. May need help for an airline ticket for Rusty, though. He broke his wing trying to hitch a ride to a pizza place.

Let him fly with 1 wing. As he gets tired the circles will get bigger and he will eventaully end up here.

Great Models Webstore has this listsed on their site but I would contact them to see if it is in stock. If not... it takes them FOREVER to get stuff in.

Re: P-39 Airacobra Group Build

	Might be worth picking up the lastest issue of Model Airplane Int'l. There are a couple of articles about P-39s and the Has. P-400. Oh goody... an excuse to go to the LHS Marc

Thanks for posting that!

wing_nut- put me down for the Hasegawa one. It may be the -400, but I also noticed on the Hasegawa site a -39Q/N, so maybe that one will be available soon.

Thank you. Has anyone else built this kit? If so can they comment on what it is like?

Squadron didn't list it but International Hobby Supply (Sentai's retail store) did. So I'm still even more model poor..

but thanks for the lead, I've been on the lookout for the XFL-1 for many years. I have a couple of the Planet resin kits and they are very nice in the box.

I updated the roster to show you choice lone. I also added a rule to allow mutiple entries, to allow anyone that picks up the Eduard Dual Combo and builds 'em both. So if you do your Old Crow too throw it in the mix.
