Hobby Boss P-39Q Airacobra HB-80240 — 1:72 model overview

This is a 1:72 scale plastic model kit of the Bell P-39Q Airacobra, presented as a propeller-era military aircraft subject within the manufacturer's 1:72 lineup.

The Bell P-39 Airacobra was an American single-engine fighter that first flew in April 1939. Its most notable design feature was the Allison engine positioned behind the cockpit, transmitting power to the propeller through a driveshaft under the pilot's feet. The P-39Q variant retained the fuselage-mounted 37 mm T9 cannon firing through the propeller hub and used a side cockpit access door. Production reached 9,584 units, with a large proportion supplied to the Soviet Union under Lend-Lease during World War II.

As a kit, the subject focuses on external shape and surface detail appropriate to 1:72 scale. The information provided identifies the product as a buildable model; finishing work such as paint and assembly are required to complete a display-quality replica. References to historical camouflage and markings should be consulted for accurate finishing based on the aircraft's wartime operators.

A compact 1:72 representation of the P-39Q Airacobra suitable for modelers and collectors seeking a small-scale World War II fighter subject that reflects the aircrafts distinctive mid-fuselage engine layout.
