The BELL® P-39D AIRACOBRA® was an American single-engine fighter aircraft from World War II featuring metal construction with a classic low-wing tail and a tricycle undercarriage. This aircraft was produced from the years 1940 to 1944. The main user of this type of aircraft was the Soviet Union, which received them as part of Land-Lease support. The advantage of the aircraft was a high maximum speed and excellent performance at low altitudes. These features were successfully used by the American and Soviet air forces and made the Airacobra an attack aircraft well suited to fighting ground targets. At low altitude the Airacobra surpassed the German Bf 109 and Fw 190 aircraft. Probably the best P-39 pilot was Alexander Pokryshkin, who achieved 48 of his 59 victories in the aircraft. He flew this type of plane despite the fact that other pilots from his unit received Russian-made equipment.
The BELL® P-39Q AIRACOBRA® was designed with 380 COBI construction blocks in 1:32 scale. The block model offers many movable elements such as a rotating propeller, movable wing ailerons and wheels with rubber tires that can be folded to a horizontal position. Details and historical American olive color markings have been recreated. The cockpit can also be opened to seat the historical pilot figure inside! Thanks to a special display stand with a plate containing the name of the plane and a place to attach the figure, the whole set looks great. The model uses durable prints and historical markings. The set completes the collection of WWII planes issued in 1:32 scale, intended for enthusiasts of history, military technology and fans of the highest quality block modeling!
