June 2Jun 2 All done with this little kit. It wasn't a famous or well know racer but I liked the yellow/black scheme. This was a very easy build with no hangups. I painted it with Tamiya gloss Lemon Yellow which really catches my eye. Decals are from my stash and from the Accurate Miniatures sheet for this kit. I started it as a "time filler" while I considered my next 1/32 build. Still not sure but leaning toward another Tamiya 1/32 F4U-1D which I would really like to convert to a F2G if I could find a conversion set to use. Not looking promising for that right now but we'll see. I hope you like the P-39! 😃

June 3Jun 3 NICE !! John, another Beauty😀 Always had a soft spot for the P-39. I built the old Monogram kit.....about40 years ago!!!! I like its unconventional engineering. Too bad they couldn't stuff a Merlin in it.Now That would've been interesting! Anyway, your next build? May I suggest....... A large scale BrewsterBuffalo😀

A large scale BrewsterBuffalo😀Thanks Paul. A 1/32 F2A would be neat! I'll have to see about getting one. 😃Later: I've been trying to find a F2A-3 but had no luck so far. You'd think there would be one or two on ebay but not today. Maybe someone here has one they would let go.....In the mean time I've started getting my F4U-1D kit ready. (Took all sprues out of their bags and clipped off the little molding tabs on various parts plus got all the paint needed together.) Edited June 3Jun 3 by JohnB593

June 3Jun 3 Lovely little bird! I know how i would display this. I’d put in a vintage birdcage! Don’t ask me why though. I’m a bit weird that way
