The P-39Q Airacobra aircraft was one of the most recognizable American fighters of World War II. It was used extensively by the USAAF and also in large numbers by Soviet aviation on the Eastern Front. It participated in numerous battles, including in the Stalingrad area and in operations in the Pacific.

The Eduard 481150 set allows for masterful reproduction of the characteristic, hinged undercarriage flaps, whose construction in real aircraft was complex and rich in detail. Standard plastic parts are often too simplified or do not allow for a faithful depiction of opened flaps – specially etched, thin metal sheets make it possible to achieve a sense of depth and lightness, perfectly imitating the true appearance of the aircraft while preparing for landing or in airfield parking position.

We recommend this set for intermediate and advanced modelers who wish to take their P-39Q model to the next level of realism and detail. Assembly requires some skill handling metal parts, giving it a difficulty level of 4/5. It is an excellent choice for those who value historical accuracy and impressive presentation of the finished model.
