What's Next - a straw poll............ now closed ( Airacobra won )
Airacobra for me dave but please do the RAF scheme , its rarely seen and really suits the p39
Tony,
in the unlikely event of the Airacobra coming first ( ahem ) - I will be doing the RAF version ( although there are 5 others to chose from! )

The Eduard kit is not one of their latest - it dates back to 2000, and I think this box is at least that age! The olive green plastic looks good, but like some other Eduard models of the same age, it doesn't have any locating pins..........
What it does have is quite an extensive PE fret, film for the instruments, masks for canopy etc. , and a hefty little cast metal noseweight & a large decal sheet with 6 options for Airacobra Mk.I, P-400, P-39L & P-39N from RAF, USAAF, French AF & Soviet AF.
The ICM Spitfire & Mustang are typical ICM products, no PE, and only two marking variations for each ( all RAF ), both of these are from about the same date as the Airacobra and look much the same as the ICM Mk.XVI I'm just completing. Major difference between ICM & Eduard? - the cost! All are ebay wins, so I wouldn't have paid full prices for these!
