The Bell P-39Q "Airacobra" The P-39's most famous contribution to history is in its role a primarily a Lend-Lease aircraft to the Soviet Union. Over 4,900 of the Q-model were built, the majority going to Russia. Although slow, it was heavily armed, and some Soviet pilots preferred it for that reason. It had a 37mm gun firing through the propeller hub, with (in the Q model) 2 x .50 cal MG in the upper cowling, and 2 x .50 cal MG in small fairings, one on each wing. The design was unique for several reasons: one of which being the tricycle landing gear, and the other being the mid-fuselage engine. The engine was behind the pilot, helping to protect it. It was a little slow, and not extremely maneuverable. This mod uses a Hawker Hurricane for the exterior, a FW190 cockpit with P51 wing panels. The P-39 could also carry a single 500 pound bomb beneath the fuselage, or a 75 gallon droptank.
