Great cockpit Geo

Cockpit looks real Nice Geo.

Thanks all. Testing....testing....

Looks good. The canopy fits better than it looks. I used a piece of 2oz. wheel balancing lead in the nose. KalTire looks after the tires in the mine and in the winter I remove snow from their kingdom (their shop yard is surrounded by used tires). When I asked Cory if I could have a weight he gave me handful, probably enough to keep a real Groundhogs nose on the ground

Thanks all. Minor detail painting done, parts just posed. Armoured glass added to rear bulkhead. The rear of the I.P. will be visible if you come to my house with a flash light and magnifying lens so I added wiring.

If this is an invitation I'll be there: have a flashlight and a magnifying glass (with light) ready.

Beverages are at the ready Yves. Glued in the nose gear; I'm sure it will be fine for the rest of the build

Looking really nice George.
I like the Northbrook Il. tag inside the fuselage. That's 8 of 10 miles north of where I live. Didn't realize Revell was coming from there now. Monogram use to be in Morton Grove Il when I was a kid, about a half mile from the house I grew up in.

Looking good Geo and nice having enough weight to keep you grounded.

Gnomey · Apr 7, 2022

Nice work so far George!

Vic Balshaw · Apr 7, 2022

Coming together nicely Geo.

fubar57 · Apr 8, 2022

Thanks all. The togetherness begin

Two things to note here; I can use my photobooth again and the frontal landing gear is still in one piece

Crimea_River · Apr 8, 2022

For now....

Wurger · Apr 8, 2022

Donivanp · Apr 8, 2022

Still in one piece. Nice.

Vic Balshaw · Apr 8, 2022

I would be wrapping that nose leg in some foam for protection George, particularly while working the rest of the model.

fubar57 · Apr 8, 2022

Wing things are on with two minor gaps. Need to fill the hole that accommodates a clear supports stand. I'll use some stretched sprue for this
