The Airacobra was an unconventional aircraft with engine located behind the cockpit and nose undercarriage. As the US pilots hated this aircraft the Russian loved it.

All three aircraft included in decals were stationed at Port Moresby, New Guinea. All three are fancy aircraft with “Nose Arts” moreover one of them has writings and kill markings on both sides of the fuselage.

Potez 63-11

Very successful French series of Potez 63 were in the beginning of the WW2 one of the best twin engined fighter aircraft in the whole World. Upon request by the French AF the new special reconnaissance version with new fuselage was developed, re-designated Potez 63-11. It served not even in French AF but also as a war prize in Germany, Italy and Romania. It also appeared in Free French AF with British insignias.

The kit contains five sprues with grey plastic parts, injected canopies, resin and photo-etched parts. Decals offer three aircraft that participated in Battle of France. One of them was assigned to the Polish unit and that’s why it bears Polish insignia on the fuselage. Another machine sports a nose art, as one of few aircraft ever in French AF. It has cartoon character “Grumpy dwarf” painted.
