What did you use for the rigging Felix.

Felix
Thank you all for your kind comments! Much appreciated really. The kit is fantastic, everything fits except for maybe the open canopy, which i had initially used. But the Montex masks did not work properly, so i had to buy an Eduard mask for the closed canopy. That mask by the way has some flaws too as it does not consider some important details.
The rigging was a huge challenge, for sure 🙂

So now the FUN begins! Turning the P-39 wing into a (laminar flow) P-76 wing! I found a cheap P-51 kit ($13 CAD) to sacrifice. I'll need to cut out and fill in the P-51 landing gear wells, chop off the wingtips to reduce the wing span to ~36 scale feet (35'10"), cut out the P-39's gear wells, chop holes in the P-51's wings to mount the P-39 gear wells, and remove the leading and trailing edges of the P-39 wing root to mate up with the P-51 wing so it matched the P-39 fuselage. Also because the gear wells in the '39 are further back than the P-51, and the flaps on the P-51 are molded as one piece not two, the rear of the gear wells extends into the flap space, so I'll have to toss the flaps and fill that space with sheet styrene. Piece of cake! (Yeah, right!)
