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\u003eDue to constant modifications resulting from both operational and purely technological needs, the first truly mass-produced version of the aircraft was only the P-39N. Over 2,000 Airacobras N were built, and used by the US Air Force in the Pacific, Africa and Europe, the French and Italians, but more than half went to the USSR, where the most outstanding aces of the elite Guards regiments flew them and achieved victories. The US Air Force replaced operational P-39N Airacobra fighters with newer types in late 1943 and early 1944, but in other countries they remained in active frontline service until the end of the war.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arma Hobby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51341711933707,"sku":"70056","price":25.16,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/arma-hobby-70056-bell-p-39n-airacobra.jpg?v=1748868029"},{"product_id":"airfix-a06015a-1-72-north-american-b-25c-d-mitchell","title":"North American B-25C\/D Mitchell","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe role of medium bomber proved to be one of the most crucial during the Second World War and after something of a challenging service introduction, the North American B-25 Mitchell developed into a highly successful aircraft.

Due to declining performance of production aircraft and a shortage of liquid-cooled engines, the aircraft was threatened with discontinuation. Thanks to the prompt work of the designers, the fighter was equipped with an M-82 air-cooled engine. The aircraft demonstrated excellent performance and entered production at Plant No. 21 in Gorky in the summer of 1942. The aircraft entered service before the Battle of Stalingrad. During production, the design was regularly modified. Pilots highly praised the La-5, which allowed it to compete on equal terms with new German fighters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eScale is 1:72\u003cbr\u003e\n    Model length is 12cm\u003cbr\u003e\n    Kit consists of 59 parts\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zvezda","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53143913890059,"sku":"7334","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/z7334_01.jpg?v=1780093759"}],"url":"https:\/\/anglia-models.com\/fr\/collections\/svc-su_aif-aircraft-1-72-ww2.oembed","provider":"Anglia Models","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
