Time to build another SH P-39 kit. The first order of business is to measure and cut the rear fuselage and insert a 5/16" plastic "plug" to get the right fuselage length.

Hello John,

Is it the MMP scale plan book #11 under your kit parts?

If so, I've also checked the SH fuselage length with the drawing of this MMP books. (that I consider not too bad, in any case much closer to the station diagram than the kit 😉

don't you think the fuse part is also too short from the front?

when you place the ref with the cabin door (mid of the problem, ah, ah, ah), front is too short 1.5mm, and rear part 3mm too short.

Hello Bill

Hi All

John,

and what about he GM/ Derek plug directly to the Trumpy fuselage?

complete or only the upper cowl part, what do you think about?

Any test done ? (or any measurment if you still have the parts)

Thank you
