Now, that's a surprise, a pleasant one. I can see it shooting down recon birds flying nearby Scapa Flow...

Now this I DO like, nice take on the Aircobras the RAF had, I wonder how well it would have done in reality on British Carriers , and would it have been an improvement over the Sea Hurricane, and Seafire.

might want to tell the model maker that only the right side door opened. the left side was covered with the engine controls. of course, you can always roll down the automotive style windows (photos of real '39s available on request)

AIUI on the P-39 there was a working door on both sides but only the starboard door had an emergency release mechanism and was less cluttered than the port door.
