Nice and useful work.
I use plans with caution, for overall shapes as you did, but i once saw that plans were not as accurate as more people believe : it was about Ju 87B...
For small details, i rely on pictures.
I kept a single RS Models P-39 kit, the right choice regarding your analysis ! 😉

Thanks guys - canopies on and interior frames painted today, also got the .50 gun pods on each - Academy and Arma are both too small and too narrow if anyone uses them. More pictures after first upper color coats

It's interesting to see how 14 years makes a difference in accuracy. It seems like sometime around 2010 the trend in molds started to go towards making things more accurate. I think within the next 10 years we will see a quantum leap in detailing as 3d printing becomes incorporated into the hobby. The problem is resin compared to styrene is pretty carcinogenic. I hope that the market eventually embraces organic compounds to replace them both.

Good progress!

Great, Casey! 👍

Great comparison between the kits, Casey! I agree with Skyhiker, it's just amazing how much detail they can cram into a newer 1/72 kit these days! Finemolds does a cracking job with their 1/72 phantoms too.

You are right Capt - I bought a Finemolds F-4 -even has two great looking pilot figures - Wish more companies included pilots!

I'm building my second Arma Airacobra and I'm sure it isn't my last.
