1/72 Anigran Bell XP-83 Done


Recommended Posts

As stated in the build thread HERE:

 

I am posting a couple of pictures of the Bell XP-83 just completed:

As you can see in the photo above, I failed to add enough nose weight, so it's Mr Clear Sprue to the rescue!

Thanks for the kind comments, folks!

 

John,

 

Anigrand has them for sale on their website.  Far as I know, it's the only game in town for this aircraft....

Silly me, I use clear sprue instead of nose weights. That way weights don't rattle around if they break loose while I'm assembling. Ask me how I know about that. 

Beautiful model. Wish there was one in 1/48 scale.

Thanks, all, for the kind words.

 

Sat69,  When I glue in weights, I use a flexible glue like 560 canopy cement for just those same reasons.  I only use the clear sprue, however, when I misjudge the weight needed, or when there's just not enough room to get it all in!

Thanks Ed. I looked at their website when I first saw your WIP but couldn't see it. Must be getting old...One now on order. Must be getting old paying that much for a kit but as you say it's the only one in town.
