Thanks my friend @johnb! Currently I am prime candidate for customer of the month of my favorite sandpaper company 🤭🤭🤭

The b?nose gun fairings are molded tad on the soft side, but no worries: I used leftover exhaust fairings from my Revell P-70 build, which look better...
Spiros Pendedekas said 1 year, 9 months ago:

I used a piece of styrene sheet (actually a piece of my sons' - consumed - ice cream trays) to simulate the intake splitter, as the PE provided would be hard to use...

You may also admire the broken door frame, courtesy, as usual, of Yours Truly 😄😄😄
Thanks for stopping by!

All the additions do look great, Spiros @fiveten
The broken part should be an easy fix for you.

Your not modeling if you haven't broken something.

True, so true, my friend @stephen-w-towle!

Nice catch on that splitter. Small details like that add up to a great model. This has been fun to watch. I might have to build that Monogram P-39 in the stash soon.
Spiros Pendedekas said 1 year, 9 months ago:

Thanks my friend @j-healy! Would be great if you build your Airacobra. You cannot really go wrong with the Monogram kit, with your skills you will produce a masterpiece!
Spiros Pendedekas said 1 year, 7 months ago:

The underwing gun packs feature distinctive shell ejector chutes that Monogram provided as PE that had to be folded and glued on...

Since that would be an exercise in insanity for Yours Truly, I decided to replicate the chutes with front pieces of pylons of suitable size, which I will drill out later on...

More to come!
