Question for OP:
What brand might be selling vacuum formed clear parts? Seems like you found some as seen in photo #11. I've seen some for airplane/jet canopies, but none for cars, so I wouldn't know where to look.

Hey Treehugger, the parts in the picture are part of the kit. But funny that you mention this topic because I actually dealt with this question myself recently. I finished two 964s earlier this year (Revell and Fujimi) and the clear parts in both kits were of very poor quality. Searched for aftermarket replacement and found nothing. So I decided to try myself at vacuforming and made the clear parts myself which turned out to be pretty decent (after countless tries and errors) I have not posted pictures of the builds yet but intend to, keep an eye open. You are right, there is definitely a lack of aftermarket windshields for cars...

Alexander, I'm really sorry about this mishap!
They show us the difference between a normal modeller and a master modeller: mishaps happen to both, but with you there's nothing to see afterwards!

If you only knew how many car models I had to repaint! I honestly think most of them, partly or in whole. It is a rarity a paintjob succeeds at the first try. I don`t even call them "mishaps". Just "happy little accidents" like Bob Ross 😄

Exactly, the lullaby channel😄 no, the guy was really great.
But on the topic of repaintings again, I actually counted the car models which are right now in my home. There are a total 16 on display and I had to redo the paintjob on 9 of them! Partly or in whole. So that is actually not the exception but the rule 👍

Anyway, your car paint jobs here on SM are the reference for me, no kidding!
Thank you also very much for the detailed description about used paints, 2K stuff and thinners etc in your build logs 👍
Fortunately, I don't normally need such high-gloss finishes, but I have helped other modellers (no SM members - yet) several times by pointing them to your build reports.
Thank you very much, your documentation effort is highly appreciated!

Alexander, fantastic work!Really like the painting jobs, the "leather" seats and car body. And the whole process is well documented, I leant a lot. Will add this page to my favorite, as I need to go through all these pictures before I build my next car. Thank you for sharing.

Lorraine, you are welcome!
Mr D, I must admit I had to google what "Rudge wheels" are. but it seems to be an own VW/Porsche design that differs from Rudge wheels. USCP sells them separately too.
Landlubber Mike, my pleasure!

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!)

Step 1: Chop both the P-39 and P-51 lower wing into the component parts. I want to keep the P-39 wheel wells, and rear and forward centre so they will mate to the P-39 fuselage

Step 2: I re-sorted the wing components to prepare assembling the XP-39E/P-76 wing.

Step 4: a WHOLE BUNCH of puttying! in retrospect I probably didn't need to do so much disassembling of the P-39 wing, but I wasn't sure where it was going at the time.

Step 5: Now I have to chop the tail off the P-39 and fit on the P-51 tail. I think this will probably be the easiest approach here. I also have to lengthen the fuselage by 24 inches or 24/72 - 1/3". Fortunately the rear and front of the wing bottom match up well to the fuselage wing fillets, suggesting to me that my wing mods were pretty accurate.

I also loved the ship design and how parts move during flight.
