Dora Wings 48007 Bell P-63C Kingcobra Racer Sohio Handicap 1/48 – plastic aircraft model kit

Dora Wings 48007 is an extremely detailed plastic model kit of the Bell P-63C Kingcobra Racer "Sohio Handicap" in the popular 1:48 scale. The model represents a civilian version of the famous American fighter, adapted for air racing after World War II. The Bell P-63 Kingcobra was developed in the United States as an improved version of the P-39 Airacobra and was used primarily by the Soviet Union during World War II. The featured "Racer" version, bearing start number 82 – Sohio Handicap, comes from the post-war era when demilitarized aircraft found new purposes in air racing, for example at the National Air Races in the USA, where modified P-63s were among the fastest machines.

Kingcobra aircraft, especially the C and D models, were produced from 1943 and intensively operated by the USSR until the end of the war. Racing versions began their career after 1945, when American pilots and aviation enthusiasts adapted these fighters for competition in aerial races held between 1946 and 1951.
