This one is an example of a 23 Sqn RAAF machine.
The RAAF only took delivery of about 20 P-39s for a short period before they were returned to the USAAF. The squadrons then converted to other types.
The undersides and basecoat of Foliage Green done so far.
Bit of progress with this one.
Not really happy with the demarcation line from the underside Sky to the upper colours as there was a bit of paint bleed under the blu-tac. Pretty happy overall though.
All it needs now is:
A Dark wash
Propeller hub painted
Canopy frame painted
Gloss coat
Decals
Weathering
Matt coat
Just some weathering, touch-ups and matt coat to go.
The fin flash decal was really brittle so a bit of paint should touch that up OK.
I think this is about 'the final'
Maybe a bit more grey on the exhaust stain but that's about it.
RAF P-39 next
And with the Toyama produced card
