FOV P-39 question

Do any of you have the 32nd scale FOV P-39 Airacobra model? What do you think of it? I have only seen it in pictures, and it looks like it has white prop blades. That looks kind of strange. Any info would be great, as I would like to get one.

I will have one in my possession this Thursday :wink:

Aparently, the plane came out in small numbers to some retailers sometime last fall and then again in January. No one mentioned it around here about the most recent time so I didn't catch it until it was too late...

Nevertheless, I found them in stock at www.goodstufftogo.net, for $39.99 and ordered one from there. This is a reputable online dealer and they usually have very decent prices on their FOV products. They had this small picture of the boxed product on their site:

It does have the white propeller blades. I'll post a review when I get it on Thursday 8)

Does the P39 also have metal wings like the ME109? I have the action grade P51 and Spitfire and the wings are in plastic. Just wondering.

Looks nice, but what is up with those white prop blades? :(

Just got my P-39 in today :D I haven't unboxed it yet, but my first impressions are VERY positive!! Quite frankly, its paintscheme is as good as a 21c plane, just without all the little paint flaws :wink: The P-39 is in a completely different league than the earlier FOV Spitfire, P-51, and Bf-109G. Again, I'll post pictures and a complete review by tomorrow :wink:

Tman, are the prop blades really white? That seems to be the only thing that I can see wrong with the FOV P-39.

I've posted a review of the FOV P-39 in a seperate thread - so it doesn't get lost in this one :wink:
