thanks everyone,so here's my nose wieght (i figured i would need one since its a tricycle under carrage)its the tip of a 303. bullet made out of copper i filed the tip down so it fits prefectly.
It's looking good Baron! Keep up the good work.
Building- (All 1/48) F-14A Tomcat, F-16C Blk 30, He 129
Herr Baron: P-39's looking good! More photos, please.

kermit, that is one Hog ready to squeal!! Very, very nice
Science is the pursiut of knowledge, faith is the pursuit of wisdom. Peace be with you.
On the Tarmac: 1/48 Revell P-38
In the Hanger: A bunch of kits
finished the cockpit just got too put in a nose wieght and glue the body together, i fitted them together without glue to see how well they fit, and they dont fit together well at all ,
if you look closely you can see the joystick i made from scratch all comments welcome i want some tips
Very nice Hog there Kermit!! Really like it. Very cool.
I think I've sanded the nose enough to look good to me. Gotta finish fixing the seams now.
CallSignOWL whoo! I'm loving that Warthog, Kermit. Very nicely done!!!!

What she said!!
------------------------
Now that I'm here, where am I??
Gamera,
Off to a good start there, looking great!
Medicman,
I don't envy you looking at the pictures. That must be/ have been alot of sanding and fiddling around!
Baron,
Looking good from my end[;] Could you post a sidewall pic that is more at a straight angle? For a first scratch effort i concur with miss Owl: nice job soldier!
Well,......
Here she is after almost a week of decalling and fiddly bit assembly, all done and ready to take off:
scary side:
Did i mention decals...? This is just the ALQ119 pod...:
Sooo,.... this one goes on the shelf Hope you guys like my work and special thanks to miss Owl for hosting this interesting GB Hope you like my take on this Hog (woops,....sorry Vetteman)

the seat-belts look good, RRB. The cockpit is good for a first scratch-build, too.
Gamera, Medicman: I know both of you will be able to tame your builds...cant wait to see more!
here is what stage im currently up too on my P-39Q
this is the 1st time ive ever painted & made seatbelts before, did i do ok?
and here is what the cockpit currently looks like. i had to everything from scratch since airfix doesnt give you anything to detail. the front panel where all the dials and things are i made from scratch and im painting all the dials on it today, before i go to Hobart (the capital of my state, tasmania).
i would appreciate comments , so what do you think of my first attempt of painting/detailing a cockpit?
CallSignOWL kermit: I dont hate decalling my builds, not at all..... But these "super decal sheets" that revell pops in to some of their offerings sometimes take you awhile... Just about halfway through after two evenings... Just the undersides left and all the ordnance Richard heh, you too? That's what stalled me on my build...all those little decals.

MAJ Mike Gamera: Thanks guys! Think I've got the intake fixed, if I can keep from breaking it again- somehow every time I pick up the model my fingers seem to close right over the wing root and the intakes. I think I see your problem. Giant flying turtles don't have opposible thumbs!

Yes, thankfully my little buddy Kenji helps me with the delicate stuff.
MM: Yes, I've had resin parts push everything out of alignment too. Looks like you have the matter in hand though, sometimes you just have to sand the krap out of things

Good save there Gamera. Kit's looking good too.
Here's what I'm dealing with.
There's a step there on the nose where it attaches to the fuselage. Working on fixing that.

Nice plane
Pics of my P-39's cockpit 99% scratch built coming up in around 1-2hrs. my first time ever actually "painting" the cockpit, and sctratch building.
i want to see what evryone thinks of it.
Ouch! That'll be a challenge to fix, Looking great, otherwise. As I said on another thread, GB's push me beyond my comfort zone. However, you've got the skills to fix it like it never happened.
Cheers.
Great work on the A-10 Kermit and fantastic work on the pilot!
Ok, here is the Dark Shark, frankly the fit isn't too bad for a limited run kit. The big problem is where I accidentally smashed the starboard intake (circled in green in the last photo).
Sweeet Kermit !
kermit LOL, Ok you nosey people.... It is dutch in fact and Baron was saying that he was hoping to work some more on his P39, adding scratched details to the cockpit I guess we should stick to english to prevent people from getting confused Richard

I'm always confused so it wouldn't be a change for me.
Nice work on the A-10 Kermit!!
Well i'm gonna be really working on the Tomcat tomorrow. Been at work a lot lately so I haven't gotten to work on it. There's a small step at the resin nose and the fuselage that's gonna give me heck.
CallSignOWL very nice, kermit!
very nice, kermit!
Hey guys n gals,
Basic camo has been applied, as well as a mild black wash overall to bring out the engraved stuff. Since this kit has alot of raised detail i am planning on doing some drybrushing as well:
Having the canopy posed open ofcourse i did some work on a little pilot dude:
More to follow soon Hope you like her
