The Bell P-39 Airacobra was a unique and innovative fighter aircraft used by the United States and its Allies during World War II. Notable for its mid-engine configuration, the P-39 featured a 37mm cannon mounted to fire through the propeller hub, giving it considerable firepower. However, its lack of a turbo-supercharger limited its performance at high altitudes, making it less effective in traditional fighter roles compared to other aircraft like the P-51 Mustang.

Despite these limitations, the P-39 found great success with the Soviet Air Force, which received nearly half of the 9,585 Airacobras produced through the Lend-Lease program. Soviet pilots appreciated the aircraft's speed, maneuverability, and firepower, using it effectively in low-altitude combat, ground attack missions, and even as a ramming tool against enemy aircraft in desperate situations.

Arma Hobby's 1/48 scale model kit represents the P-39Q Airacobra - the final production variant.
