A double measure of Bells

 Hot on the heels of the US Spitfire come another two USAAF fighters - this time home-grown P-39 Aircobras.  These are again from the Partizan plane purchase so I neither built nor painted them.  As usual my role has been to effect a few repairs and apply a coat of varnish.  Amazingly both still have intact undercarriage - but I can’t see it lasting!  No idea what make the kits are, though I’m sure Airfix offered a P-39.

That is a very smart collection of planes. I'm not not used to seeing US aircraft in desert schemes, but they look really good.

It is plane that you are currently in a most creative mood.

It did cross my mind to repaint - but just in the nick of time I remembered I couldn't be bothered!

For the sake of some repairs and a coat of varnish they were quick wins.

That's me - daring to be different.

Thanks - I'm sure we'll find work for them soon.
