Maybe there is a difference between the D and Q models, but is the IP too far forward?

No, the IP is right where it should be.  The only noticeable difference is the change in wing guns from 4 .30's to 2 .50's in pods.

Just about ready for some paint but first it needs a little more attention to a couple of seams. Coming right along.

So far so good Peter. Those kit decals are awfully thin and delicate but, so far, they are behaving okay.

[KevinM]

Nice John liking the looks of the colors being applied and the P-39 is not one of those planes that enamored itself to me but I like the look!

Thanks Kevin. Some times a good color scheme can make a not-so-good-looking a/c look pretty good! LOL
