Love the p40 too!

Nice ! Shark mouth makes any day better !
Test fit the cowl & canopy back in place and now the wing area is back filled and allows the battery full entry and exit with the cowl on ,,,, ya hoooo no weight needed for C of G !!!
Mission accomplished

Ohhhh the P51?
Was at my favorite shop yesterday and they had a close out sale on the $499
1700 mm FMS mustang !
It was $324!
Wifey says “ hey ya want it get it”
I have learned from the past when she says buy,,,, I do lol!
So that Stang will get a full rework from flaps to paint to ESC .
I had one of these and know I everything to expect ( mostly bad) so it should be all good with my past experience

Hi Lou

Nice job with the battery placement, a little thought can save added weight

Mike

Hey Mike
Thank you ! Its a fun project, next sanding and repainting !

Nice. Most of my kits are designed for fuel. As long as I make s large batt hatch I rarely need lead for cg

I was able to make some prograss , new paint scheme, markings next, then panel lines and weathering !

Fun progression !

Ok most of the repainting is complete, next some light sanding, panel lines and airbrushing

Its looking good...Now just to dirty it up some...One day I will get back to mine

I think I remember your thread someplace , thanks for commenting and following along !
This baby definitely needs weathering , hopefully we warm up a bit and I can get to my airbrush !

Looks like it's nearly all done, looking forward to seeing it finished

Mike
