Re: Preview: HA1701 Bell P-39N/Q Airacobra "Russian Ace"

Looking at the drawings of the P39 with its undercarriage down I fear this will be a very tail heavy model.

But this is a must have to go with the Easy model Russain P40 ( I know that ones plastic but whats a guy to do, I mean you just have to have a Russain P40).

Even plastic models of this were tail heavy. have to throw some weight into the nose

It originally was a tail sitter and the first idea was to supply a small brace to go under the tail. I told Hobby Master this wouldn't be acceptable to the collectors so they went back to the drawingboard and overcame this, so it does sit properly on the trike gears.

I have the IXO Jnr P-39, and they managed to keep that on all three wheels. If they can do it, I'm certain Hobby Master will be able to solve the issue!
