Hello everyone, I am new to this forum and I wanted to say hello. I have been collecting 18th scale models for a few years, and I am a huge fan of WW2 aviation. My favorite plane is the Bell P-39 Airacobra. I love the lines of that plane, and I hope to one day see it in 18th scale.

Thanks,
Jarod

A P-39 would be cool in 1/18 scale.

Welcome to the board!

What part of the country are from?
Or what part of the world?

Welcome to the board

You'll find that we're an ecclectic bunch, but that we all share a common interest in military history, hardware, and of course, small-scale representations of that hardware

Not sure when, if ever, that we'll see a P-39 in 1:18, but there is one about to be released in the 1:32nd scale by Unimax for their Forces of Valor line

It's really nice to see the numbers of "new blood" we are having as new to the forum.

Welcome, you will really like this forum. And it is good to see you are a P-39 fan. I am with you, it is a great looking plane, and I would be first in line to get an 18th scale version of the Airacobra.

Hello Jarod:

Welcome to board. Best place on the www for accurate 1:18 aircraft, armor & figures.

Love the P-39 too. My Grandpa worked for Bell Aircraft in Buffalo, NY during WWII and talked about the Airacobra quite a bit.

Maybe one day we will see an example in 1:18

I am up the road in Palm Beach County.

Cheers
John L

Welcome!--I am a Buffalo boy by birth and my very 1st airshow was at Bell Aerospace in the very ealry 80s. I, too, hope there will be a P-39 in the near future.

I will chime in as well. Welcome and I agree ,the P-39 would be a great plane in 1/18 scale. It was one of the first models I built as a kid. I think it was in 1/48 scale. You also have company . Airacobra is on this forum as well . He is in the process of blowing up a paper scale model to try a stab at making one in 1/18 scale

Welcome fellow military and small scale addict. I've grown to be an addict of the forums as well...

It's a great place, enjoy yourself and most of all, come to the dark side... 1:32...

P-39 in 1:18? In Russian colors? Oh boy, that would be the day I spill my guts into WWII XD.

Sorry Aferg, I'm not trying to recruit members for my 32X cult...
