Peterpools Posted May 23, 2021 Author Share Posted May 23, 2021 Hi John I just never noticed I typed the title incorrectly ... and glad you pointed it out. Right now, my personal opinion is the same as yours ... a disappointment but I'm plowing ahead and see what I can do.

Martinnfb Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Peter, before you close the fuselage, there is a need to fabricate and to install armoured glass plate under the loop. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted May 23, 2021 Author Share Posted May 23, 2021 Thanks Martin, I've been thinking just that. Pretty poor that KH completely left it out and only included the solid armor panel with the headrest. Just seems to be the way the kit goes.

GazzaS Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 The interior looks great,Peter! I'm very glad that modelling has helped improve your manual dexterity. ...I'll tell you a story: We had to go to a family birthday party. They had some drinking games and one was like this: The idea is to move the hook around the guy without hitting him and setting off a buzzer. While sober, everyone tried it and none of them made it half way around without setting it off. I consider myself shaky, so had no expectation of beating anyone. But... because of this modelling thing... I did it first time around without setting off the buzzer. Nobody wanted to play it after that. My wife said: "See, your modelling is useful for something after all." 2 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 I did not realise that this kit was so bad, I have built the SH P-39 and found it to be a bit fiddley in places but not a bad build. So when the KH P-39 came out I thought why not, I could build a soviet operated P-39, so when I saw one at a good price I bought one. So in light of the negative comments on this kit I will follow this build and use this as a training guide to the KH kit.

It's all about getting an excuse for drinking, ...ups, I hit that guy again, cheers,... Cheers Rob 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Dennis Although not the first one released by KH, the P-39 was actually the first one they designed. KH are notable for their somewhat approximative fit but their kits have improved release after release, with the latest ones fiddly but not bad in terms of fit. This to say that the P-39 is actually a ... let’s put it mildly ... challenge ? Hubert 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted May 26, 2021 Author Share Posted May 26, 2021 Guys, Thanks so much for your well wishes, prayers and pulling for me .... Petscan and blood work was done on Tuesday and today the consultation with my wife Diane and myself: couldn't ask for better results and blood work. I'm so happy to report I'm in full remission and wearing a huge smile. Keep 'em comin Peter 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted May 26, 2021 Author Share Posted May 26, 2021 Thanks Gaz, Plugging along and making steady progress one step at a time. Nerves of steel for sure but I'm sure Rob has it right ... a great excuse for drinking. Keep on comin Peter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted May 26, 2021 Author Share Posted May 26, 2021 Dennis Seems to just be a tough kit due to how it was engineered, poor instructions and molded in general. If KH would have put more effort into quality, the build issues would never have been included in the box. Keep 'em comin Peter 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted May 27, 2021 Author Share Posted May 27, 2021 Hubert You hit it right on the money. Hopefully, they will turn the corner and look at 'Quality" as the most important part of a kit. Keep 'em comin Peter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
