As you can see from my RCU Call-sign and avatar, the P-39 is my favorite. My very first P-39 I kit-bashed from a Bridi Vagabond; and the second was my own design modified from Wing Mfg. plans. It was with this model I began scale warbird racing; and was the Bronze High-points Champion for 3 of my first four years racing (2004 - 2007).

After retiring that plane, I have since designed my own 1/8th scale model from Paul Matt scale drawings; made a plug, mold, and 3 composite fuses, all for the purpose of racing in the Silver class of our series of warbird races here in Sacramento. Should anyone have an interest, I posted a build-thread of the last one (as well as a composite P-47 & P-51), in the Scale Racing forum, here on RCU:

And, prior to that, part of the process of the plug and mold build was posted in the "P-39 Anything" thread that TLH101 posted the list to just a few posts before (post #30).

Two of the three composite aircraft are pictured below.

Thanks in-advance.
