About the P-400 Airacobra:
The P-400 was the export version of the Bell P-39 Airacobra-one of the most innovative fighter designs of WWII. Key features included:
tricycle landing gear,
centrally mounted engine,
20 mm nose cannon (instead of the standard 37 mm),
six exhaust stacks on each side of the fuselage.
Originally ordered by the British and French before the US entered the war, the aircraft proved underpowered for European air combat and was quickly withdrawn from RAF service. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, many of these fighters were requisitioned by the US Army Air Forces and sent to the South Pacific, often still bearing British camouflage and serials. Others served in North Africa or were later transferred to the USSR under Lend-Lease, where the Airacobra achieved exceptional combat success at low altitude.
The P-400 played a key role in early Pacific operations, notably during the campaigns in New Guinea and Guadalcanal.

Bell P-400 Airacobra - one pair of exhaust (designed to be used Arma Hobby kits)
When the USA entered the war, the USAAF confiscated 179 Airacobras from the British order from the production line. They were -re-designated P-400 and sent to serve in the pacific theatre. The P-400 designation was used to differentiate these aircraft, inspired by the fact the P-39 was designed with the promise it would be capable of reaching 400 mph of maximum speed. All P-400s had 12 exhaust pipes on each side of the engine, which was major difference from the P-39D series.
Included left and right exhaust. 3D print.
