Re: P-39 Airacobra Group Build

	I am going to go with the 1/48 Eduard P-39 Airacobra Bud " You've experienced a set back, and without set backs and learning how to fix them you'll never make the leap from kit builder to modeler "

Re: P-39 Airacobra Group Build

	I'd like to start (and finish) a P-39Q (Eduard 1:48 Profipack). If it counts, I'd also like to mend an Airfix 1:72, and perhaps I'll have a go at an Academy 1:72, too. The Eduard is such a sweet kit, though. I don't think I'll have any trouble finishin that one! Cheers, Bruce

Re: P-39 Airacobra Group Build

	Marc, now why did you have to pick a start date a MONTH away?!?!? Can I at least open the box, touch the plastic and smell the glue? Well, scratch the last one.

I agree... I think I heard the nose cannon on the P 39 calling me the other night. No really......I did........although it could have been my three year old......humm..............

Re: P-39 Airacobra Group Build

	Sounds like a fun group build brewing. I should be done with my Airfix group build contribution by 1 Jan, so please count me in. I picked up an Eduard P-400 a month ago and its been drifting to the top of my build pile anyway, so thats what I'm in with. "Congratulations, gentlemen!

Now you don't really expect us to believe the parts speak to you do you??? Everyone knows they jump down to the carpet and just keep pulling on your pants leg ‘til you notice them.(stop that...no... not 'til January... I said NO. You are so lucky I am not that good at scrtch building or I would feed you to the carpet monster!!!)

Brewing and modelling - two of my favourite activities!

Looking at my Academy 1:72 Airacobra, though, I have the choice of 2 x P-39Ns and a P-39Q. All Russian aces.

I don't know which one to make, and that's without thinking about AM decals, which I'm not going to do. OOB will do for this puppy.

Re: P-39 Airacobra Group Build

	O.k. after pulling a kit out from the bottom of the stack, and then picking up all the kits I knocked on the floor I came up with Eduards p-39 profipack. Being that I live in my own time zone I can start mine now right? Thad

As long as you put it that way, sure you can start now... NOT

I am itching to start too. I am going to do the Secret Santa GB 1st then this one. If the SSGB model turns out to be a bigger project, I may knock this one out then over to the SSGB. Also, with the SSGB in mind... a new rule for this build.If you are in the Secret Santa GB and score a P-39, you can apply that to this build too. I'm not going to force someone to do back to back 'Cobras.... not that that's a bad thing.

Re: P-39 Airacobra Group Build

	Ok about these "Rules" Hypotheticly speaking: Lets say I had a sprune of parts that I picked up out of some random unidentified box lying around. If I was to begin cutting and sanding on said parts from the previously mentioned sprune. And at a later date discovered that the previously mentioned parts came from one Eduard P 39 Q profipack 1/48 scale model kit. Would this be a violation of the "rules" as stated on page one of this thread?

	Dave: Better yet, ASK someone to put them in, say, an F4F Wildcat box, so that you actually believe what you are working on is Grumman Navy bird...

Re: P-39 Airacobra Group Build

	Hey Dave... if you want to sneak around the start date you better do what mucker suggests. That's only because from the way you describe what might happen, for you to not realize what kit you were working on you would have to be working with your eyes closed. The dangers of that are obvious. I refer you to the thread by the guy that recent sliced open his thumb... and that was with his eyes open. We don't want anything bad to happen to you before the official start Marc

Re: P-39 Airacobra Group Build

	Hurry up January. I've been visually building it in my mind for a week now. Each night a different dream with a different paint scheme. Funny how Air-a-Cutie seems to be in each one, though...

Re: P-39 Airacobra Group Build

	Hey I am fairly new to the forums but I do have the new Hasegawa p-400 in my stack I would like to join if it's not too late. also I am thinking of doing a russian build with aeromaster decals but it's for a p-39L looks to me that the major differences are the exhaust stacks and the 37mm in the nose, any other major differences. thanks and looking forward to this Barry
