Exhaust pipes for the Bell P-39D and P-400 Airacobra 1:48 correspond to the twelve-pipe arrangement. They serve to sharpen up an existing plastic model of the fighter.
Responsibility details are not available.
The Airacobra had its engine mounted behind the pilot, so the exhausts come out of the sides of the fuselage roughly at cockpit level and are clearly visible from either side. The twelve-pipe arrangement corresponds to the D series machines and to the export P-400. The item serves to sharpen up a model already under construction, not as a kit of the aircraft.
Bell built the Airacobra around a cannon firing through the propeller hub. The Allison engine therefore moved to the middle of the fuselage and a long shaft runs to the propeller under the cockpit floor. The machine was one of the first American fighters with a nose landing gear, and the cockpit was entered through car-style doors. The designation P-400 was carried by aircraft originally built for a British order that ended up fighting in the Pacific.
Burnt metal on exhausts is never one flat color. A dark base works well, with rusty and gray tones dry-brushed over it and finally a fine dust around the mouths. Spray the smoke streaks on the fuselage behind the exhausts with heavily thinned dark paint in several weak coats so that they stay translucent.
The set is unpainted and does not include a kit. Paints and glue are not included, unless stated otherwise.
