KITTY HAWK 32013 BELL AIRCRAFT P-39Q/N AIRACOBRA 1/32 SCALE
DESCRIPTION:
Bell designed an advanced fighter aircraft in 1938 that featured a 37mm cannon firing through the propeller spinner and different configurations of machine guns depending on the version. The engine was mounted behind the pilot, with the propeller shaft running under the pilot's seat and between his legs. The aircraft incorporated one of the first nosegear arrangements on an operational fighter.
The P-39N was first version of the Airacobra to be produced in large quantities. Powered by an Allison V1710-85 engine turning an Aeroproducts propeller, the P-39N would get extensive service in the South Pacific and in the Soviet Union, though it did manage to see action in almost every theater of operation during World War II.
The P-39Q replaced the four wing-mounted 30 caliber machine guns with two 50 caliber machine guns in pods under the wings. Both versions retained the 37mm automatic cannon in the nose that fired through the spinner.
