A bit more done before bed. The top of one of the nacelles roughed in and the first test fit of part of the gun nose.

I finished roughing in the nacelles and finished filing the top right side one to shape. There is a lot of filing, filling and sanding ahead.

You certainly have taken on a mammoth task with this one Glenn and it seems to be coming together nicely. 
Good work so far Glenn!

The cockpit assembled and painted and assembled the cockpit. I didn't spent too much time on it as not much of it will be visible. I also spent quite a bit of time rouging in the fuselage nose. A lot of filling and sanding will be needed and the front will be reshaped with my big file.

For armament I'm thinking 4-20mm in the belly like the Black Widow and quite a few .50s in that big nose

Lots of room in the nose for those .50s Glenn, lots of work as well. Keep it coming.

I spent some time last night reshaping the nose with the big file. It's still very rough, but I think I have the basic shape down.
Here's a test fit to see what it will look like. to me it looks much more capable of actual flight then the twin P-40

I have spent quite a lot of time over the last couple of weeks working on the gun nose, filling with CA, filing to shape and then last night wet sanding everything down with 400 grit. I am pleased with the shape, I think it suits the stocky Thunderbolt. Also removed and filled the intercooler vents and the tubro exhaust.
I have also been working on the nacelles, and they are nearly there and will have pictures of them when they are sanded.

You're doing a great job with this one Glenn.
Like it Glenn
