Hello all. This is a build I completed awhile ago, but yesterday I added some decals to dress up the model.
This is the Academy 1/72 scale P-39 Airacobra. As usual a good little kit, the decals left something, as usual, to be desired. You can see on the right wing on the second picture there is some silvering where the fuel decal goes. I glossed the model well, just couldn't avoid it I guess.
Sorry about the photos being a bit blury, I borrowed a camera for the shots and apparently didn't fully know what I was doing. I hope the images give you an idea as to what I did.
Other than the standard tail code and stars and bars on the aircraft, there wasn't much to the decals so I used some reference materials and added from my spare decals box some numbers on the nose from a P-40. The nose art name is from a P-47, and the propeller decals came from a couple different kits as well. I was able to tell from photos that the Curtiss-Electric prop logos were the ones to use.
Hope you enjoy looking at the build. I enjoyed dressing the girl up some with some additional decals. Russell
