Academy’s P-39Q/N 1:72 - by “Tuk”:

Have fun!

Good clean build. Tuk should learn to do panel line washes to add a little more character to his work. A build this clean looks somewhat toy like IMHO.

Overall, a nice build. I noticed the decals “silvered” a little bit. Maybe another coat of clear before applying them would have been better. Keep practicing and things will improve.

Tuk has some skills. If he had given it a decent panel wash as has been said before and added some noseweight lol. Hed have a top job there. He could try to save the silvered decals with a bit of ‘Sol’ and a sharp knife.

Nice Airacobra, just could use a little TLC as already mentioned!

Very nice Tuk! [tup][tup] I’ve been meaning to pick up one of those kits myself and I think this is the first build up I have seen of it. Thanks for the look.

Many thanks for your kind comments and compliments on the model! I’ll let Tuk know about the points you mentioned - the panel lines and the decals.
Darwin suggested that “Maybe another coat of clear ‘before’ applying them would have been better.” but I wonder why ‘before’ and not ‘after’?

Tuk did a better job than I did on the landing gear. When I built mine I got enough nose weight in, but the model sits too nose low. Don’t know how I messed that up.

Not enough air in your tyres Jon.[;)] [oops]
