The engine was originally equipped with a turbo-supercharger, which provided the prototype flown in the spring of 1939 with excellent performance at high altitudes. However, US aviation officials preferred less-complex propulsion, fit to operate at a lower altitude. The implementation of Airacobra into mass production and combat units coincided with the rapidly changing circumstances related to the outbreak of war in Europe, and then on the Eastern and Pacific fronts. The first orders for France and Great Britain were not fully delivered, some of them were transferred directly to the US forces fighting in the Pacific and North Africa. With the advent of more effective aircraft types, more than half of the 9,558 produced Cobras were sent under Lend-Lease to the Soviet Union, where the aircraft performed excellently: battles were fought at the low altitude for which the Airacobra was best suited. Of the top 10 Soviet aces, half flew Airacobras.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe most widely produced, in almost 5 thousand copies, and at the same time, the ultimate version of the Airacobra was the P-39Q. The plane was powered by a 1,200 hp Allison engine and differed from the previous versions by armament reinforced with two 0.50-inch machine guns in the underwing fairings. Most of the aeroplanes of this version went to the USSR, where they were used by, among others, the most outstanding pilots of the elite guard units. They were also used in combat by the US and Italy Co-Belligerent Air Forces, mainly performing ground-assault tasks. The ‘Q‘ Cobras were also widely used in the US for training, and many future aces got their wings on them before going to the front. In the post-war period, one P-39Q Airacobra was the personal hack of the Soviet general Fyodor Polynin, commanding the Polish ‘people's‘ aviation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arma Hobby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51341711900939,"sku":"70055","price":25.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/arma-hobby-70055-bell-p-39q-airacobra.jpg?v=1748868025"},{"product_id":"eduard-2150-1-72-messerschmitt-bf-109-g-6-as-g-14-as-gustav-pt-3","title":"Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-6\/AS \/ G-14\/AS ‘Gustav Pt 3’","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Limited edition kit of the famous German WWII fighter aircraft Bf 109G in 1\/72 scale.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe kit offers aircraft of G-6\/AS and G-14\/AS versions.\u003cbr\u003e\nMarking selection covers all fronts of WWII where these “Gustavs” were fighting.\u003c\/p\u003e                                                                 \n\n    \u003cp\u003eplastic parts: Eduard\u003cbr\u003e\n    marking options: 10\u003cbr\u003e\n    decals: Eduard\u003cbr\u003e\n    PE parts: pre-painted\u003cbr\u003e\n    painting mask: yes\u003cbr\u003e\n    resin parts: no\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eduard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51346126569739,"sku":"2150","price":24.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/eduard-2150-messerschmitt-bf-109-g-6as-g-14as-gustav-pt-3.jpg?v=1748867860"},{"product_id":"eduard-70161-1-72-messerschmitt-bf-109-g-14","title":"Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-14","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe ProfiPACK edition kit of German fighter aircraft Bf 109G-14 in 1\/72 scale.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe kit is focused on aircraft used in Luftwaffe, Aeronautica Nazionale Repubblicana (italian National Republican Air Force) and Zrakoplovstvo Nezavisne Države Hrvatske (Air Force of the Independent State of Croatia).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eplastic parts: Eduard\u003cbr\u003e\n    marking options: 6\u003cbr\u003e\n    decals: Eduard\u003cbr\u003e\n    PE parts: pre-painted\u003cbr\u003e\n    painting mask: yes\u003cbr\u003e\n    resin parts: no\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eduard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51346131616011,"sku":"70161","price":13.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/eduard-70161-messerschmitt-bf-109-g-14-1160786047.jpg?v=1749027603"},{"product_id":"italeri-106-1-72-caproni-ca-313-314-special-anniversary-edition","title":"Caproni Ca.313\/314 ‘Special Anniversary Edition’","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmong more than 2500 kits produced by Italeri in 60 years of activity the Caproni Ca. 313\/314 is the one that deserves a special place in the aviation history and in the model builders’ heart.

Characterized by a wooden structure, it featured the typical Italian three-engine configuration. More specifically, its three 1,000 hp Piaggio P.XI radial engines allowed the CANT Z.1007 to reach a maximum speed of 450 km\/h. The aircraft could carry 1,200 kg of offensive payload housed in an internal bomb bay. The crew typically consisted of five men, which could increase to six with the addition of a photographic operator for reconnaissance and maritime patrol missions. It was mainly employed in the Mediterranean, Balkan, and North African theaters of operation and is often considered the best medium bomber of the Regia Aeronautica.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Italeri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53059734634763,"sku":"1479","price":29.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/9MPZF47XX0CzaeZwRy0ylE30P0bmwWpT9s1qN0bb.jpg?v=1776595183"},{"product_id":"eduard-2155-1-72-messerschmitt-bf-109-k-4-kurfurst-dual-combo","title":"Messerschmitt Bf 109 K-4 ‘Kurfürst’ [dual combo]","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Limited edition kit of the German WWII fighter plane Bf 109K-4 in 1\/72 scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eplastic parts: Eduard\u003cbr\u003e\n    marking options: 9\u003cbr\u003e\n    decals: Eduard\u003cbr\u003e\n    PE parts: pre-painted\u003cbr\u003e\n    painting mask: yes\u003cbr\u003e\n    resin parts: no\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eduard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53076962902283,"sku":"2155","price":20.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/2155_01.jpg?v=1777316253"},{"product_id":"italeri-91266-1-72-dornier-do-217-j-1-j-2-nachtjager","title":"Dornier Do 217 J-1\/J-2 Nachtjäger","description":"\u003cp\u003eSUPER DECAL SHEET FOR 5 VERSIONS - COLOR INSTRUCTION SHEET - MASKING SHEET\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFIGURE NOT INCLUDED\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003etwin-engine high-wing bomber Dornier Do 217 was widely employed by the German Luftwaffe during the Second World War. Versatile and flexible, it was capable, in its various versions, of carrying out bombing missions, attacks against surface targets, and night fighter operations. In particular, the Do 217 J1\/J2 Nachtjäger version was developed to effectively perform night interception missions against Allied bombers. The aircraft was equipped with the Lichtenstein radar, necessary for target identification, and was heavily armed with 20 mm cannons and 7.92 mm machine guns mounted in the forward nose section. Luftwaffe pilots considered it less maneuverable than other night fighters, but extremely reliable and robust.
