“Today we present five camouflage and marking schemes from our first Airacobra model kit in 1/72 scale.  Although the sprues include parts allowing you to build a model of all basic versions of the fighter, we have decided that the schemes in the subsequent standard Airacobra boxes will be matched with the aircraft versions. We also answer the question: “what about Soviet markings?”. Check our Armahobbynews Blog: https://tiny.pl/wgxhd

Due to the ongoing war, you asked whether there would be Soviet markings or a box with Soviet aces. We are not planning a special box for Soviet schemes but expect individual, interesting Soviet markings in boxes of particular versions. Let’s remember that not only Russians flew in the Soviet air force, but also many Ukrainians, and one of the most outstanding Airacobra aces was the Tatar from Crimea.“……………………………..Arma Hobby
