John Posted July 2, 2020 Author Share Posted July 2, 2020 Just about there. Canopy framing and some final details, plus a bit of tidying up and a final top coat of Matt Cote and I'll be calling this one done. Better than I was expecting, to be honest.

Jinxman Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 That scheme really suits it. Just noticed the Frog stand as well - I can't recall ever seeing that shape in the kits I had, not that I ever had many Frog kits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted July 4, 2020 Author Share Posted July 4, 2020 These old Revell kits can scrub up nicely: John 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 They certainly can John and you have proved that to great effect. An excellent build, very well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share Posted July 5, 2020 The P-400 has 2 machine guns in each wing, in addition to the nose-mounted weaponry. I wasn't going to bother but, as I had knocked off the pitot and was going to replace that anyway, the guns weren't a big add: I've used 2 thicknesses of Slater's Micro Rod, slightly thicker for the gun barrels and thinner for the pitot. Once firmly dried I used a small piece of card as a template to trim the gun barrels off to the same length: A bit of paint on these and the exhausts, and that'll be about it.
