ACY2177   Academy Plastics   1/72 P-39Q Airacobra

TECH NOTES
   This is a 1/72 Plastic P-39Q/N Airacobra Model Kit from Academy Plastics.
                            It's for ages 10 and up.

     Of all the fighter planes that flew during WWII, the P-39 Airacobra was
unique in having its engine placed behind the pilot.  This configuration gave
the craft excellent agility and power.  The P-39 had more powerful armament
than any other single-engine fighter of the time.  Nearly 9,600 Airacobras
were built to serve in WWII.

FEATURES: Plastic pieces attached to sprues and molded in light grey.
          Modelers will enjoy the fine surface detail, such as bolt heads and
            metal seams, that decorate the exterior of the craft.
          The cockpit is complete with a seat, controls, and gauges.
          The detailed propeller assembly gives the craft a very life-like
            look.
          Authentically modeled landing gear.
          The plane is armed with machine guns that peek innocently from the
            nose of the plane.
          Bombs and external fuel tanks are mounted on the bottom of the
            fuselage.
          Clear plastic canopy.
          Detailed pictorial instructions guide you through assembly.
