Sovietwarplanes

some time ago, after reading E. Mariinskiy's "Red star airacobra", I bought the special hobby 1/32 kit of this plane without much expectations, both from me and from the model: I just wanted to build a plane that I had already done (Monogram 1/48) as a boy and do it without too many headaches.
but when I opened the box I was struck by the potential of the kit, and I added Eduard interiors and flaps and resin wheels, and after a quick build, I focused on the colors, which I wanted faded and worn.
and here we are, if I understand how to upload the images.

P-39Q-5-BE, serial #42-20414, yellow 93, Cpt. Alexander Filatov, 30th GIAP; Poland, autumn 1944.

mmmmh.. for some reason I'm not able to load the images, just the link, sorry about that.

cheers, P.

Hi Paolo,
thank you for sharing the photos (well, the  links...) of this beautiful model. I wait to see your I-16 as well. Now I'm just working on  color drawings of this type.
Regards
Massimo

my pleasure!

this morning I found more kit's photos in the pc archive. nothing decisive, however.

speaking of photos, I don't understand why I can't load them: I copied the image code and after highlighting it I pressed the "insert image" key, but without results.

Hi,
I don't know about Flickr, but many years ago I utilized another storage site that created an apposite link with a thumbnail for the forums.
I wonder if such a thing could be created by Flickr too.

You need to look at your Flickr settings.   to the right of the image are 3 icons , star, right pointing arrow (share), down pointing arrow to a line (download)
the share button is greyed out, so you need to adjust your account  settings to allow sharing.

You should then get a box with options at the top,  look for BB code, at the right, copy and paste that.  Here I think you will need to paste that into the image box .

i extracted this one,  lovely build, lots of fine detail on enlargement.

ehm, thank you, Massimo and Troy, I tried several changes on the Flickr site, but without any success, undoubtly to be charged on my inattitude on technical side. I'll try again in the next days.
cheers, P.

Hi Paolo,
please don't give up, I hope you will find the right way to do it.

Beautiful model and excellent work, Sir! I just finished the same subject using the Academy 72d scale kit and aftermarket decals from Russia (apologies--"senior moment"--I can't remember the brand but it was a sheet full of VVS P-39 options). Looking forward to seeing more of your work here!

Stunning work!

Brilliant job on that Kobra! I just may have to purchase that kit.

Regards,

Jason

Fantastic work! Very, very nice--I strongly prefer authentic weathering as opposed to the "artistic" approach that's so popular these days and you captured that very well.
I just finished this same scheme in 72d (awaiting a clear coat and such weathering as I use) so I'm familiar with the topic. Once again--very nice and welcome to the forum!
