Hobby Boss HB-80240 1:72 propeller-era P-39Q Airacobra kit  [HB-80240]

Overview of Hobby Boss HB-80240 P-39Q in 1:72

This offering is a 1:72 scale plastic kit of the Bell P-39Q Airacobra, cast as a propeller-driven military aircraft within Hobby Boss's 1:72 series.

The Bell P-39 first flew in April 1939 and is distinguished by its mid-fuselage-mounted Allison engine, which delivers power to the propeller via a driveshaft beneath the cockpit floor. The P-39Q variant retained the 37 mm T9 cannon firing through the propeller hub and featured a side cockpit entry. Production totaled around 9,584 aircraft, with many units sent to the Soviet Union under Lend-Lease in World War II.

The kit emphasises correct external lines and surface detail for its scale. It is supplied unassembled and unpainted; modelers will need to perform glue, paint, and finishing steps to achieve a display-ready result. Use period references to match camouflage and insignia for specific operators.

A neatly scaled 1:72 P-39Q Airacobra that captures the aircrafts uncommon engine placement, suitable for compact displays or groupings of WWII fighters.
