For my next project I've chosen another fine dual combo from Eduard, as usual in 1/48 scale. Early last year, when there still were models shows around, I found this nice kit of the P-39 Airacobra. I think it's a nice idea of Eduard to call it Bella, and I shamelessly take the name over for my new build blog.
Okay, let's see what we have here. As always the box art is already half the purchase ....


.... in the box are parts in grey plastic for 2 complete kits of Red Star Cobras ....

.... let's have a look at the sprues. All sprues are double. First we have Sprue A with fuselage and cockpit parts ....

... Sprue B has the wing and further parts for cockpit and the front wheel ....

.... Sprue C has various parts for the landing gear and prop ....

.... the sprue with the clear parts has the canopy, the famous "car doors" and the armor glass for the pilot ....

.... as this is a Profi Pack, we find also PE parts and masks for boths builds ....

.... with every Profi Pack comes a colourful building instruction which looks like a booklet ....

.... like on my finnish "Mersu", Eduard offers again 10 tasty looking versions of VVS Cobras and after some long thinking I've decided to build "White 103" of the 213. GIAP, a P-39Q, because it's the most colourful Cobra and wears the Guards Banner on one door and the Alexander Nevsky Order on the other ....

.... the decals are again printed by Cartograph and made the decision not easy ....

I have already looked for the right paints, this time from Revell and Vallejo, and will start in the next few days ....
Happy modelling!
