Has this been done, or any rumors out there?
Maybe Trumpeter will step up to the plate again!
Oscar,
I was just thinking the same thing and did a quick web search. A company called AMTECH released information 2 or 3 years ago they were planing to do 2 or 3 variants of 1/32 P-39 kits but so far nothing had been produced. I think the vacuform company ‘Combat Models’ made a vac kit. So far, nothing exists as a kit for the P-39 in 1/32.

AMTech had anounced they will be releasing the Airacobra in 1/32 but they been hit with medical problems within the last year and they fell behind the curve but from what I’ve seen in their kits it’ll be a very nice release and it may convert me to go for 1/32 scale instead of 1/48, but hopefully they’ll release it soon
Amtech has announced some variants of the P-39. We will just have to wait and see if this small company still has the resources and desire to do it, (I think there may have been some medical problems with one of the partners). Other than that, the only 1/32nd kit I know of is the Scratchbuilders resin kit. I love the P-39 and HAD this kit. If you want to know why I got rid of it, refer back to the manufacturers name. This kit needed a lot of work to make a respectable P-39 and just didn’t want to fuss with it.
Don’t hold your breath for any new releases from AMtech. The 1/32 P-39 & new 1/48 P-61 will not be out any time soon, if ever.
Regards, Rick
I am not sure if its the same mfg(I think it is though), I picked one up a few years ago at a Hobby Shop for $20… Go figure…!!
Wayne, I see what you mean about the work that will be involved. Well that is if I ever get around to building it!!
Flaps up, Mike
No, you won’t… but then who am I to talk…
Fade to Black…
The way it looks, you’ll have few built up before I even think of opening up the box and smelling the resin fumes…[:p][;)]
Ya know, I think tomorrow I’ll have a look see and maybe dream of the day she will be sitting in Ron’s Display case… Yeah right…
Flaps up, Mike
