P-39 Airacobra of Amet-Han Sultan

As good now as the first time.. I still intend to get the HobbyBoss kit.. for comparison! Was up in the loft today, tidying up.. and found kits I had managed to forget I even had.. :P I must be mad!!

I'm curious about the hobbyboss. Seems like one of their better kits :)

Excellent work once again! Great-looking aircraft. I know it's a re-load but I must have issed it the first time.

Cheers, It was from much earlier in my modeling career. I hope to make three more and paint 'em better! I put so much varnish on this one... Arrrgh

Get som matt varnish and tone it down.. :)

Very nicely done !!!

Thanks, I'm quite a fan of this odd plane (3 more kits in my cupboard). Nobody liked it, or even had succees with it except the Russians ;)

My dad saw them come through Canada on the way to Russia. He thought they were beautiful. Maybe the Russians were the only ones smart enough to identify and exploit the plane's potential.... kinda like Chennault with his P-40's.

Wow, I was planning to do a vid about that - found some newsreel footage about sending p-39's through Canada then Alaska to Russia. They had three routes apparently, one was definitely up through Iran ;)

Cheers back at ya!!
