Looks really good. Very clean plane. When I first saw the green top and light blue bottom, I got excited that you were doing a Soviet version! I believe the Soviet Air Force operated more P-39s than any other Lend-Lease aircraft.
 

Thank you sir, after my error with the bottom color of the P-39, I figured to keep it clean so that I can figure out how to spray the bottom gray.  Or maybe hand paint it?  I still am deciding.  Thanks for the visit.

Looks great, but wondering about that light blue underside, should be light gray.

 

 

 

That actually should be Neutral Gray.

 

Thank you for the information sir.  I'll have to go back and correct that.

Here here is the completed P-39.  I'm still not a 100% and it shows so I'll listen to Mrs. Toshi and take a few more days off.  Thank you forum members for the visit.

As always, I had some difficulty with spraying the white but by priming that area with a light gull gray that helped out greatly.  Right now I'm still adding touches here and there, then comes some decals, weathering, and the final sealing.

That's a nice looking kit Toshi and you're making a super job of her so far. You'll soon be putting her clothes on by the looks of it!

 

Have fun with the rest of the build!

The Revell 32-scale Airacobra is indeed a Revell of Germany release, but that mold originated with Special Hobby.

 

 

 

 

Thank you for sharing that piece of information!  This kit has shown me it's dedication to the modelers.  Thanks in advance.
