Skins for P-39N/Q VVS:

http://www.mi-psi.eu/cs/p-39.html

Downloads for three blade propellers versions contains files for planes with wing guns (N1) and underwing guns (Q-1). Both (US) versions are inaccurate, because Soviet Airacobras had no wing guns.

Hi! Nice skins, but one question, what do you mean the soviet P-39 didn't had wing guns?

See Dimlee's post, above. The operative word is "usually." See also this page:

http://www.mig3.sovietwarplanes.com/lendlease/p-39/misos/general.html

Scroll down to the section titled "P-39 WEAPONS." There are photos of two VVS P-39s with wing guns. They're most visible on Pokryshkin's P-39N, but gun barrels, and shadows cast by them, are marked in red.

As soon as the p-39 where  delivered from the USA they had there   30 'cal wing guns  removed  for better roll rate, you won't find any p-39 with wing guns in Russia. Crazyflak was working  on a p-39 pack with wing gun's  removed.
As mentioned above...
It was a bit more complicated. Wing guns were removed, indeed, from many (most) P-39s either on arrival to USSR or before departure from USA. But there is evidence (incl.pictures) of P-39s with wing guns operated in VVS. For example, at least 2 Airacobra aces used such aircrafts for certain periods: Pokryshkin and Rechkalov.

The skin looks great Toobone.  Nice shades of green color and attention to detail.
