CFS RAF Bell Airacobra Mk.1, AH579, 601 Sqn, October 1941 (CFS only package). The RAF ordered 675 P-39D's which were known as Airacobra Mk.1's. The RAF versions differed from their US cousins by the installation of a Hispano 20mm cannon and six 303-cal (7.7mm) machine guns. Once the aircraft entered service, it was soon found lacking in rate of climb and high-altitude performance. The balance of the 675 aircraft order were transfered to the USAAC (as the P-400) and Soviet VVS. FS5 model/AFX by Eric C. Johnson. Original CFS moving parts model by Chuck Dome.
