JohnB Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I'm calling this one done. As per all my 1/32 P-39 builds I added the 3/16" "plug" to the rear fuselage so the length was correct. Seat belts are Fine Molds, wheels, instrument panel, seat and a few other odds and ins are from the Kitty Hawk kit. Gun barrels are tubing from my stash. Painted with MM 34087 OD and 36231 Dk. Gull Gray. The interior is what was called "Bell Green" and I mixed several colors of MM to come up with my "interpretation" of the proper color as compared to photos. Decals are from the KH kit (thanks Peter!) except for the national insignias which are Super Scale. I hope y'all like the results of my efforts. Please remember to click on the photos for best resolution and to view as a slide show. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Dennis Thanks Dennis! I find it attractive also. Not a real "easy" build in some areas such as the landing gear. That nose gear always gives me fits! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
