Hi Dirk,
that´s adorable, masterly, in every respect a winner... and for sure one of the very best models I have ever seen!
I am really stunned and thrilled- as so much times before you did a masterly work, it is a pleasure to study your skills!

Thx mates!
I`m proud that my models get this attraction, makes me very embarrassed!
If my photos could help a lil`bit to solve any prob`s or questions in the aircraft section, it would makes me pleasing!

@ Erik: Na alter Hesse? 😄
Irgendwann müssen wir uns doch mal treffen. Da gibt es noch einen neuen und sehr netten Mate namens Bird Dog aka Holger aus Frankfurt! Wie wäre es mal mit einem Treffen zu Dritt in Isenburg in einer Kneipe??

Thx Mates!
I`ve added the very last pictures of this project! Starting from picture 22.
The model is fixed now on the base and is parking for next expo in March!
The figure is from Verlinden, the tools are photo etched parts from Aber, the toolbox and can`s are from Tamiya.
The platform is scratch built out of plastic and wood.

Dirk, you amaze us again! Excellent work on the best P-39 I've seen. And I'm glad you got to pose it with your hangar. Wow!! 🙂

Dirk Heyer
@Bill:
Ah thx, yes the hangar is my favourite photo-studio background! 🙂
Have a look on Roland`s amazing Airacobra Trilogy. One of the three is finished meanwhile!
@Markus:
In March there will be an amazing model expo in Ober-Schleißheim. The 1:35 scale modeller are very skilful there. You will meet there Bernhard Lustig, Münchner Runde with all the best of military modeller of Bavarya and excellent Italian modeller.
For aircraft modeller it is a famous atmosphere to exhibit between WWI, WWII and modern aircraft's!
The figure is painted with acrylics from Valejo!

Fantastic P-39 Dirk. I really like your weathering and the various techniques you've used to achieve it- looks totally believable and not over done. Great stuff!

Dirk Heyer
@ all:
I am very pleased about your nice comments! Thx.
@Pascal: I`ve ordered a large amount of different exhaust types directly in Moscow! With aid of a Russian friend..🙂 Sadly this fine article is out of production now!
I used Moskit exhaust`s for my Ta-152,Seiran and my Stuka in 1:48.
Highly recommended! 🙂
