The Bell P-39 Airacobra is an American fighter that served with the US Army, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and several other allied countries. The Q version was the newest and most extensively produced series of this fighter, featuring upgraded armament and an Allison V-1710 engine. The model excellently captures the structure and characteristics of the original aircraft, especially the distinctive solution with the engine located behind the pilot’s cockpit and armament concentrated in the aircraft’s nose.

The P-39 Airacobra was widely used from 1941–1945, especially during World War II. On the Eastern Front, this machine became a favorite among Soviet fighter aces such as Aleksandr Pokryshkin. The Airacobra participated in, among others, the battles of Stalingrad and Kursk, and its versatility and ease of handling were also appreciated during operations in North Africa and the Pacific.
