I hope this is not a repetition- I posted the question over 24 hours ago and it hasn't shown up, so I assume my message did not make it through, so here goes again.
Did anyone ever kit the following prototype aircraft? Curtiss XP-37 Bell XFM Airacuda Bell XFL-1 Airabonita
I realize the Airabonita and the XP-37 can be converted from P-39 and P-40 kits, but no sense knocking myself out in the conversion if I can find a kit.
The XP-37 was as a conversion by Airmodel. It was mostly a nose plug for the Allison engine. The XFL-1 I think was done as an injection kit by a Czech firm (IIRC) The Airacuda was done as a vacuum-formed by Rareplane, of which I have an unbuilt copy. Let me know via e-mail if you'd be interested in making an offer.

I answered when it was first posted, but here it is again: All 3 in 1/72 scale. A couple are resin.
XP-37
That always looked like something that should show up in a movie serial with the Rocketeer flying alongside. :-)
