God, how I remember that gap. One P-40F left in the stash. Intake looks great.

Wow that's some gap, won't take you long to fix that mate!

 

[Wurger]

I echo Wayne's post above but without the "Wow". There is no gap that could make an impression on me.

Little bit-o-brick morter and Bob's yer uncle.

Finished up the cockpit tub and installed it in the fuselage. This together with a spreader bar and the proper dihedral put in almost eliminated all the gaps. What's left I can get with a little thick CA

 

[Crimea_River]

Glad you fixed the dihedral first Glenn. It looked pretty flat in earlier pics.

 

[Wurger]

Agreed.

 

[Catch22]

Nicely done!

 

[JKim]

Nice fix on the wing root gaps... looking good!

 

[Gnomey]

Great work so far Glenn!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

You sure came up trumps with that fix Glenn.

 

[Jeff Hunt]

Great work on a classic airframe.

Cheers,

Jeff

 

[Airframes]

Nicely done Glenn.

Haven't posted here in a few days but I have been working.
Looking at pictures off the interior of the radiator outflow area (pics 12) compared with the cover piece used in the model (pics 34) I saw that that area was all wrong. After a lot of thought (including just saying to hell with it and gluing the kit part on) I began chopping up the cover plate (pic 5) and started building a more correctly shaped out flow with scrap bits of plastic. Pic 6 shows the main insert I built in its rough form and pics 78 show the test fitting after some trimming. The insert still needs a lot of sanding, shaping and filling and I'll add cowl flaps made out of bits of aluminum beer can.

 

[Catch22]

Oh wow, yeah that wasn't even close. Nice job Glenn!

 

[Wurger]

Looking good.

 

[Airframes]

Great mod there Glenn, well done.

 

[Crimea_River]

For sure!

 

[dneid]

Nice job there, Glenn!

 

[JKim]

Very nice mod!
