1/48 Eduard P-39N Airacobra

This is my P-39N Airacobra from Eduard. The cobra is in Soviet service as you can see. The Soviet Union received a lot of these planes near the end of WWII. I built it out of the box. This edition is a "weekend-edition" which means it contains no extras and only one decal sheet. More then enough because I wanted the Soviet version.

The build was very straightforward, no difficulties except for the forgotten nose weight. Eduard does not mention it in the booklet. I added some weight on my one initiative but not enough, so I got a nice tail sitter. 

Enjoy the photos.
