P-39 Airacobra Group Build

I love it Dave...way to see it through to the end! THat's one fine looking Airacobra.

Oh, and, a hearty congrats on the good news. I'm happy for you.

Well after 13 months its finally done. A little late I know but.....I had a couple of other things come up along the way that slowed me down. Like a Commision build and my wife and I had a little 1:1 project to ..uhh..."build"....Anyway here it is:
Eduards 1/48 P 39Q profipack
Nice kit with only a few problems. The nose weight is nice and the PE set is great. I used Moskit Exaust which are VERY cool . I also used an aluminum tube for the 37mm in the nose cause the kit part was just a plastic blob. The color in the pics is a bit off, im not real good at the white balance etc...when taking pics. So comments are welcome, and suggestions are incouraged. Please tell me what you think I can improve or what I might have missed. Thanks.

Hey all, got some good news! I was at the IPMS seattle spring show a couple weekends ago, and i entered my P-39 and P-400. The P-39 got the special award "Best 1942 Pacific Theater", so I was pretty happy.I also came away with about 15 new kits that I got for pretty cheap.

Here's a link to the show gallery: http://ipms-seattle.org/Springshow/2007SSPhotos/Aircraft/index.htm   

My planes are pretty far down the list, and the pics aren't the greatest, but whatever.

*edit* I just checked, and here's the filenames for my models-

 0347

0349 (the ME-110) 

0473

0474

0477

0478

0479

0480

Hey great links thanks wingnut

Got a little paint on mine the other day but that is about it.

Thad

Besides needing a serious bump... I found a few walkaround I had never seen that you may find useful.

Are you guys still out there working hard on your 'Cobras?

Bud,

Great job on the !/72nd.  Agree with all the other comments, if you hadn't told us it was 1/72nd, I would have sworn it was 1/48th.

Matt, nice job on your Airacobra, too.  Camo complements the planes lines well.

Here a couple of photos of my completed work.  It is built OOB, except for the "jumpin - jacques" name.  I didn't do any weathering, and I may have taken some liberty with the camo painting.

Yeap it's a 1/72....

Bud

Hey bud looks great, and its in 1/72. very nice

I do have progress on my P 39. I have found the box and unpacked it. (moving really &%$#)
