discussion Eduard's P-39 Airacobra

[Guest]

Hi


Here is my current build. Eduard's Bell P-39 Airacobra from the new dual pack. My second build, well kinda as im making a tank as well..


The PE cockpit looks okish.. damn fiddly to glue the levers on.. installation instructions are not great on where to stick the cockpit... as you can see it does not fit perfectly...any one else made it have advice?


Weathering. pah I didn't know what I was doing so looks a messy!. The red handle things on the cockpit.. They looks odd. You have to fold a bit of PE but you can see the fold and join?


Oh well it is only my second build...


maybe now to add some wires and what not

Nice start. The seat belts look really good.

looking at the instructions online for their earlier profipack p-39 it came with nose weights and a bit more PE, some supporting the control panel.. pah not fair


sanding a bit so I cna try and sit the panel down more... tough..

Wondering how to create the under wing lights. Any tips? View media item 8532

You could drill little holes in the wing where the lights go drop a touch of pva glue in then when dry paint them white then when that's dry paint in the correct clear colour required

Having a nightmare fitting the wings. If i try and sit the model in the wings the front looks bad like this:
