This is the old Monogram P-39
Airacobra in 1/48. Unless you want to make it as a Russian fighter, their
color scheme is pretty basic, Olive Drab over Gray. I just want to have
one in the collection. Instead of spending $40.00 for the new Eduard kit,
I picked this kit up for $5.00 at the last contest. The kit has options of
opened gun and engine service panels. To simplify the build and add nose
weight, I decided to close them all up.

The kit fit well
together, except for the windscreen. I had problem fitting the windscreen
on my kit. The curvature of the fuselage where the front of the windscreen
met, they just won't sit flush. Maybe I did something wrong during the build.
Nah, it's no big thing. I moved on.
