Eduard P-400 1:48 scale

This will be an out of the box build to pick away at over the summer. Not sure how long it will take as summer is a busy time of the year and this year especially so. I planted a large vegetable garden that needs tending every couple of days it seems. I leave for Oshkosk three weeks today for a week of aviation related fun and when I arrive home I am here for one day before I leave for my annual week long fishing trip to my brothers. I get home from that and my wife leaves the next day for a week and I am supposed to " run the household" whatever the hell that means.

Some pics.

As of right now I expect I will be building the example that is on the left side of the colour scheme sheet.

Cheers,

Jeff

Nice one Jeff, i have the same kit though a more recent version with out the nose weight.

 

[Wurger]

Jeff.. could you weigh the lead ballast and post the result? It would be useful for all who may need to know how much of the load should be there to keep the nose of the model down.

I already built one and I liked it but I used PE in the interior.

Oooh...I think I have one of these in the stash, too. Want to make a 67th FG bird from Guadalcanal (surprise, surprise). Watching this build with interest.

Nice Jeff. I built this kit as a British aircraft in a Start to Finish. Can't recall any issues

It will be nice to accompany you in the process Jeff, ...interesting Wojtek's request to know the weight required to level the P-400.

Good one.

"Look after the household" = do whatever he f!ck you want. Straighten up a little before she returns.

I have others Eduard P-39 in "stock", the lead ballast weighs about 18 grams (or 0.039683 lb for you)

Good choice Jeff

I also built this kit a wile back. I remember being impressed with the nice fit of all the parts. Builds into a very nice model.
