Fuselage assembly continues. First we have the traditional "take a good like now while you still can" photo before the cockpit gets zipped up. The control stick and rudder pedals are supplied as 2D parts. The pedals will be the less visible of the two on the finished model, so I left them alone, but I felt compelled to replace the stick with a scratch-built replacement made from styrene rod.

 

 

Fuselage sides added, along with the rudimentary engine cylinders.

 

 

The fuselage bottom is rounded and makes no provision for proper fitting to the straight fuselage sides. I added locator strips made from scrap card.

 

 

 

 

 

That's it for now!

That looks quite sturdy  with that thickness  of card.

Tim Allen had a flying museum in Everett Wa and they flew warbirds all the time. From my vantage point at the Boeing Everett flight line, I got to see their P-40 fly many times, as well as a P-47, P-51, Hellcat, Bearcat, Zero, F-190 and more.

Boeing  employee?    What a place to be to watch planes.

OC.

I was watching an airshow video  with a P40  being flown around.

OC.

So much work going on there  - looking realy busy.

OC.

That is coming along so well  mate -  masking can so often lead to problems - always did with me.

OC.
