++ **** DONE: 1/48 P-63C - Military Conflicts of the 1950's

Spent some time today cleaning up parts and glued the wings together. Not too bad of a fit

Most of the pictures of the French P-63s in NMF show very prominent Dzus fasteners, probably due to the weathered condition of the aircraft. The kit has only engraved panel lines so I decided to add the Dzus Fasteners with a tiny drill. The first picture is a close up of the picture of this aircraft that Wojtek posted earlier in this thread showing the prominent fasteners in many of the panels. The second picture shows the fuselage half I added the holes to, and underneath the fuselage half that I haven't started in on yet

It does look promising alright...

Very nice work Glenn! It looks like it is going together quite nicely and the added details are looking good.

 

[Gnomey]

Good work so far Glenn!

Agree with all - nice work Glenn.

I sanded down all the surfaces getting rid of the rough finish then glued the 2 pieces of the cockpit together and found they didn't fit as good as I had hoped. It took an hour of messing around with it adding in the nose gear well and exhausts as well and finally got it all to fit together.

Nice

[Wayne Little]

looks like the hard work paid off rather well..!

 

[JKim]

That's the downside of resin cockpits... getting them to fit between the fuselage halves. Looks like you got this one under control.

 

[Crimea_River]

The results will be worth the trouble methinks.

 

[Airframes]

Agree with all.

 

[Gnomey]

Lovely work so far Glenn!

 

[T Bolt]

Some progress pictures of the cockpit. Still have a lot to go. I mixed the "Bell Green" interior color my adding some black to chromate green

 

[Wurger]

Looking good.

Interesting choice, I had no idea they used them during this time.
