About product

Eduard 1:48 P-39D/P-400 Airacobra (photo-etched parts)

A set of fine photo-etched parts from the manufacturer Eduard in 1:48 scale, meant to raise the detail of the plastic kit of the P-39D/P-400 Airacobra fighter. It is not a model of an airplane but an accessory that replaces or fills out the cockpit and the interior with more accurate elements. Some of the parts in sets of this kind come pre-printed in color for immediate use, while the supplementary photo-etched parts in brass are painted up.

The real subject

The Bell P-39 Airacobra was an American fighter with an unusual layout: the Allison engine sat in the middle of the fuselage behind the pilot and drove the propeller through a long shaft running under the cockpit. A cannon was carried on the propeller axis. The P-400 version came about as an export variant. The Airacobra made its mark in the Pacific and in the colors of the Soviet Air Force.

Use and tips

The photo-etched parts are separated with a sharp knife on a surface and glued with super glue. The colored instrument panels and belts only need forming carefully and gluing on, while we recommend degreasing the bare brass parts and spraying them with a primer before gluing. Tweezers and a photo-etch bending tool make the work easier.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers who want to deepen the detail of a cockpit beyond plastic
  • More experienced builders used to working with photo-etch
  • Collectors of fighters of the Second World War in 1:48 scale

This is a modeling accessory, not a model in its own right. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.

FAQ

No. It is a set of photo-etched parts, that is an accessory for raising the detail of a plastic kit, not a model in its own right.

For 1:48 scale.

The colored photo-etched parts are pre-printed and only need gluing on, while the bare brass parts are usually painted up before gluing.

Super glue (cyanoacrylate) is best; tweezers and a photo-etch bending tool help.
