GB-49 1:48 P-400 Airacobra - Favourite A/C of WW II

Cockpit assembly is finished including the weight for balancing the aircraft. Thank you Eduard for including this in the kit. Hint hint to other manufacturers.

I have glued the assemblyto the starboard side of the fuselage and taped it together to hold it in place while the glue cures. Very nice fit.

Cheers

Good progress Jeff. Tamiya's Me262 and I think the He219 have ingenious nose wights included. They are moulded as nose gear wells.

Very nice work, Jeff. In do like how Eduard included the wgt.

Lookin' good Jeff.

Lovely work so far Jeff!

Nice work. I have the same kit just a newer boxing. Looking forward to seeing how you deal with the weights for the nose to avoid a tail sitter.

Fuselage halves are glued together.

I have reapplied the gunsight at least 5 times. It is in a bitch of a.spot when it comes to handling the model.

Cheers

Looks good Jeff

Good progress. You could temporarily stick the canopy on with white glue to protect the sight.

Excellent tip Andy. I am away from home right now but IIRC I am at the point where that is totally doable. It is not a simple canopy because of the door entry but I have to tackle it at some point so why not now.
Thanks again

I believe this is the electronics intended to be depicted behind the pilot's seat. It is a BC-966 IFF unit. I know of no other kit that inlcudes it.

Good progress Jeff.
I built that kit when it first came out and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Tail feathers are glued into place, wheel well tops glued and radiator intakes and screens also in place.

Cheers
