“The Soviet turned the Airacobra into a two seater by adding a forward cockpit for the instructor quite close to the propeller. They obviously modified the canopy and added an extended fin fillet for more stability.
I choose to use the P-39Q Revell kit in 1/72 scale for this conversion. All other elements were added from scratch. The result is accurate in both shape and dimensions but leaves much to desire in terms of finish.”
