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 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.
