Responsibility details are not available.
The P-63A Kingcobra kit from the Ukrainian brand Amodel is an unassembled plastic model in 1:72 scale with the manufacturer's part number 72415. The 2024 release brought a new decal sheet with markings of the US Army Air Forces and with the British designation Kingcobra Mk.I.
The Bell P-63 Kingcobra was an American single-seat fighter that grew out of the concept of the P-39 Airacobra: the liquid-cooled Allison engine sits behind the cockpit, the propeller is driven by a long extension shaft under the floor and the aircraft stands on nose landing gear, which was unusual for a fighter at the time. Against the Airacobra the Kingcobra received a new laminar flow wing, larger surfaces and a more powerful engine. Most of the machines built went to the Soviet Union under Lend-Lease, where they were used mainly against ground targets; the British took the type over only for trials, under the designation Kingcobra Mk.I.
With short-run kits, sand the parting edges and check the fit of the fuselage halves and the seating of the nose landing gear, which carries the weight of the model. Glue the canopy with its side doors with cyanoacrylate glue away from the frame. American machines were often in bare metal — that needs a perfectly smooth base and is applied as the very last step. Soviet machines, by contrast, carried matte camouflage, where a light lightening of the upper surfaces shows to advantage.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
