I got the Q-variant kit (with "Devasting devil" on the box painting). The instructions indicate quite a lot of parts as left-over. It looks like the sprues are the same for all Eduard's P-39's. What variants is it possible to build from the kit, in theory?

The kit has the twelve-tube exhausts (P-400) and tubular and flared exhausts. Option for three- and four-bladed propeller. Three different upper noses (smooth with no mg's, one with smooth and one with bulged openings. Two left-over mg barrels look like they go with an earlier variant.
I'm still going to build the Q-variant so I can use the cool "Devastating devil" markings. I'm just curious.

Hi Eetu!

I build mine in a P 400 version. Pics can be seen here:
kitbox.fr - P 400

This was my first "serious" kit since I returned to the hobby. First time I used an airbrush with a compressor and first time I saw photo etched parts for real... and used them!
