Casey BeckettHi Gordon!
I have spent a bit of time comparing the kits - Academy is a fair kit, a bit underscale and the lightest on detail, but will look just fine. Academy has done well with most of their kits, and for much less than the the newer kits.
If you do another P-39, going by Bert Kinzey's P-39 Detail and Scale book, the RS Model is spot on for dimensions. The ARMA kit is very close, a wee bit underscale, but it is the best detailed out of the box. And with ARMA, you get masks, and cool weights designed for the kit. ARMA did some great research!
Trying to figure out the colors for the sand/pink/ whatever color the P-39s were painted in the field during their brief time on Canton Atoll. Seems we modellers have been debating this for many years!
I think my little project will be fun - spent the evening correcting ech kit's panel lines -most for a close to accurate '"Q" model are small eliminations to the wings. The Academy kit is very well done, only needed a few filled in.
Free French will be a cool scheme.
Cheers from North Carolina!
Casey
