The Russian one looks nice, but the American one needs to lose the inkwash.. It makes the panel lines look horrid..

Have to agree- the panel lines are way too prominent. If all the production ones look like that I won't get one.

That panel obscuring half of the windshield is too large!

Main gear looks too far back to me and have to agree on the wash, it's awful on the US one.

Re: New P-39 Photos on HawkOneVoodoo's website

The washes should be proportional to the shade - i.e. light-colored wash for a light-colored plane.

I think what they did was move the main gear back a bit to change the CofG so it wouldn't be a tail sitter. All comments are being forwarded to Hobby Master.

The armor plate is too high it should sit down further on the windscreen and will be correct in the retail version.

It is sooooo refreshing to see a manufacturer submit a pre-production item for scrutiny by it's future customers, and then DO someting about it, that it almost makes me cry!

Corgi, Dragon, Forces of Valor and Gemini PAY ATTENTION. The competition will hurt you!!

Agreed. Pokryshkin's bird looks great, though. The kill markings may be inaccurate, but they look nifty, so I say keep 'em. Glad to hear the windscreen armor plate is being toned down. I'm pre-ordering the Rooshin bird today...
 

Nrrrm! Whoosh! Rat-tat-tat!
