There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Bell P-39C Airacobra EJ - Initial production model of the Airacobra

View attachment 118215
The Bell P-39C was the first production model of the Airacobra. It was more lightly armed than later models and carried no armour or self-sealing fuel tanks. It was used for initial service trials and often was not equipped with its cannon. Because of the lack of protection, it was deemed unsuitable for operational use and twenty that were produced were sent to training units.

This particular project uses a hypothetical paint scheme by Indianola...
