About product

P-39 Airacobra wheel bays 1:48 (Aires)

The resin detail set P-39 Airacobra wheel bays in 1:48 scale from the Aires company. This is not an airplane model but a set for experienced modelers that replaces the landing gear spaces from the base kit with faithfully detailed resin bays with cast runs of lines, piping and wall structure. The set raises the realism when the aircraft is shown with the landing gear extended.

The real subject

The Bell P-39 Airacobra is a single-seat single-engine fighter with an unusual layout: the engine sat behind the pilot in the middle of the fuselage, the propeller was driven by an extended driveshaft and the aircraft had nose gear. Its armament, firing through the propeller hub, was characteristic as well.

Building and painting tips

Wash the mold release agent off the parts, separate them from the casting blocks and bond with super glue (cyanoacrylate); protect your airways when sanding resin. Apply a primer, spray the spaces with an airbrush and pick out the structure with a wash and a dry brush. Before gluing them in, check the fit with the particular kit.

Who the set is for

  • Experienced modelers of Second World War fighters in 1:48 scale
  • Builders who want realistic landing gear spaces
  • Fans of the P-39 Airacobra

This is a resin detail set, an accessory for a kit and not a standalone model. Glue, paints and the base kit are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. It is a resin detail set of the landing gear spaces with which you replace the wheel bays in a base P-39 kit.

It had the engine behind the pilot in the middle of the fuselage, driving the propeller through an extended driveshaft, and it was one of the few with nose gear.

Wash the resin parts free of mold release agent, separate them from the casting blocks and bond with super glue (cyanoacrylate).
