JohnB Posted September 14, 2021 Posted September 14, 2021 I've decided to build another one of the SH P-39's. The 1st step is to cut the fuselage where the "plug" will go. Then it's on to the build. I'm a little undecided as to which a/c it will be but I'd like to do Shomos' Snook's 2nd. I had the decals at one time but can't find them now so if any of you have 'em and don't plan to use 'em I'd sure like to get 'em. 7

Peterpools Posted September 14, 2021 Posted September 14, 2021 John Way to go and I'll be following all the way I'm sure I'll get the bug to either finish my horrible P-39 or buy a SK kit and build it this winter. Keep 'em comin Peter 2
brahman104 Posted September 15, 2021 Posted September 15, 2021 Nice one John! I do love the P-39 and can't wait to build one someday..... Craig 3

JohnB Posted September 18, 2021 Author Posted September 18, 2021 Making some progress. The seat, guns and IP are from the KH kit. The seat belts are Fine Molds. I replaced the control stick with one from my spares stash. Remember to click on the photos for best resolution. 7
