                        P-40 cockpit
                        Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, January 28, 2004 11:27 AM
                        I'm about ready to build the old Monogram P-40 B 1/48th. I'm told its the most accurate profilewise, but the cockpit looks terrible OOB. Does anyone make a resin aftermarket (ie. Black bot, true details) cockpit for this kit. True Details makes one but I not sure if it will work in the Monogram kit. I would hate to spend the money on it only to find it un-compatible.

                        Please advise,
                        Joe

                        Cutting Edge has a cockpit set that is designated for the Monogram P-40B kit. Their part number is 48067 (might make your web searches a little easier).

                        I've used their stuff before and have been pretty happy with it.

                        Joe, let me know what you find out if you please... I think I'm just gonna do that kit for the Pearl build. It's been in the "to build" pile for a while because of the raised panel lines. I don't think I'm quite ready to totally rescribe an a/c yet. I saw that Swanny is gonna do an article that shows how to wash raised detail though so that should help a bunch.

                        I'm working on that kit myself and just finished scribing the panels, gotta get my eyes uncrossed before I go to work tomorrow. I was going to ask the same question about the cockpit myself. Funny thing about the pearl group build is I'm already doing one for a Pearl survivor at church. Doing the P-40, a PBY, and a Zero for him. Started it the day the group build was announced. lol

                        Washing raised panel lines? How? I'm finishing up the ancient P-38 from Monogram kit for a group build and that technique could prove very useful. Where's swanny?

                        Thanks for all the input.
