1:72 P-39Q Airacobra (Hobby Boss HB-80240) — product summary

This product is a 1:72 scale plastic model kit of the Bell P-39Q Airacobra, offered as a propeller-era military aircraft within the manufacturer's 1:72 range.

The Bell P-39 Airacobra, which first flew in April 1939, is most notable for siting its Allison engine behind the cockpit and transmitting drive to the propeller via a shaft beneath the pilot. The P-39Q retained the fuselage-mounted 37 mm T9 cannon firing through the propeller hub and used a side cockpit access door. Production reached approximately 9,584 units, many of which were supplied to the Soviet Union under Lend-Lease in the Second World War.

As supplied, the kit concentrates on external silhouette and surface detail suitable to 1:72 scale. Builders should expect to assemble and paint the kit to achieve a display-ready finish. For historically accurate markings and camouflage, consult operator-specific references before completing the model.

A compact 1:72 P-39Q Airacobra kit that captures the distinct mid-fuselage engine configuration, appropriate for display cabinets or group dioramas of WWII fighters.
