Monogram Pro 1/48 P-39Q Airacobra

Very nice, Keyda.  The P-39 kit was probably the best Monogram had ever done at the time it was released.

Very, very nice finish on this one Keyda!

Is this one of the Alaskan P-39's?

Nice job on the Monogram Classic! 

Thanks Jeaton!  I was pretty impressed with the detail it had. 

Mike, thank you!  Not that I'm aware of, bit of history on it in the link.

Thanks Stik!

Excellent work, Keyda.  Except for one small detail.  Lt. Shomo's plane is a Q-5 which used a 37mm cannon in the nose.  You used the 20mm cannon which was used by RAF Airacobra Mk. 1's, P-400's, and P-39D-1's.

Thank you, the gun was actually already attached to the fuselage as one piece.  Had no mention of anything in the instructions either.  Oh well.

Nice job - I like the livery.

Thanks tempestjohnny!

Thanks keavdog!

Nice work.  A few years ago I did the Monogram P-39, which I'd built several times when I was young.  I thought I would be able to get enough weight into the gun bay to keep it from tail sitting, but nope, there is literally no room to get anything extra in there.

I think you just have to leave the gun detail out if you want it to sit on the front gear.  I was WAY past that point when I realized it just wasn't going to sit proper.  So I had to improvise.  Oh well.  I don't think anyone would of known the difference if I hadn't mentioned it, lol.
