Just weight in the radio compartment should be fine. I built the Monogram kit using the Lone Star resin set which has resin tail surfaces and I was able to balance it like this.

Nicely done, I have the 200 version to build, one of the aircraft I used to fly. Just as a note for anyone building a PT-6 powered King Air (all but the B-100), the propellers go into feather as the engines shut down. They are never seen stopped in other than feathered position.

Russ, it's beautifully done and as usual the photo adds a lot. I note one thing, and it is Hasegawa's fault, the the model has the normal large P-40 wheels, but from what I have been able to figure out is that they used smaller P-51 wheels and tires on the N as a part of the weight saving measures used when building it, such as initially only 4 guns were installed, though that was later put right.

Have you tried Alclad's Aqua Gloss clear coat. That's what they recommend for a shiny final coat that has minimum effect on bright aluminum. I used it recently on this model, the old Monogram T-28A.

Very well done! The first thing I do with Roden decals is put them in the bin, never had a set work yet and I've built the C-123B USAF, C-141, and Sea Gladiator. I did a lot of reinforcement on my C-123's landing gear.

Lovely model. I have one in the stash as well in 1/48. And if anyone is interested I have 14 of the 1/72 scale Tasman versions.

Lovely model! I had the same feeling when I finished mine, but once done I rather like it.

Can't build a Victor without showing it on Britmodeler, eh?
It's a pretty good kit, but is a lot of work to get to the finish line. Aftermarket resin wheels and some Eduard PE in the cockpit. XL189, the ship that gave the Black Buck One Vulcan it's final load of fuel before the attack on Port Stanley, giving the Vulcan enough fuel but leaving itself 3 hours short of range to get back to Ascension Island. Luckily, it was met by another Victor before the crew got wet. Bob Tuxford was the pilot on XL189 on that mission.

Very nice. One of my many plans is to do this in 1/48. Congrats on having the propellers turning the correct way for the prototype!

Very nice, I built the same version earlier this year. Very neat work all around, especially the canopy.

Outstanding!

Well done. Roden decals have always been an exercise in frustration for me. Best replaced!

UH-34's spraying agent orange, that's not something they talk about much. Very nice rendition!

Better put some duals on that main gear! Nice looking Phantom.

Lovely. I'm glad to hear it goes together well.

Thank you. They are spinning in the airflow from two airbrushes. I insert brass tubing in the engines in most of my models and replace the prop shafts with music wire. The friction is low enough that it doesn't take much airflow.
