Eduard 1/48 P-39D2 ''Fadeev aircraft''

[4bogreen]

It was a bit of a chore, fitting the resin Hasegawa cockpit in the Eduard P-39. The motor/radioshelf is scratchbuild....











It was a lot of dry fitting and sanding. I think it wil look good once painted. Some wires are missing, i wil put them in later.

Hi Remco,
looks excellent so far. I've started some kits in 1/48 in recent time, possibly the P-39 Hasegawa will be built on next years.
Have you tested the Vallejo primer, by the way?

Hi Massimo,

The Hasegawa P-39 are also very good kits. Vallejo primer is oke, but you have to degrease and sand it with a very fine grain. Use the Mecha primer for better athesive results. My personal favorite primer still remains the Citadel chaos black primer. Never had any problems with it. The best to use. Especialy with PE and resin.

Hi Remco,
thank you for your soggestions.
Degrease and sand... the plastic before the primer, you mean?
Mecha or Citadel, good to know. Valleyo (the small bottles of acril-poliuretanic one) is badly unadequate at least on metallic parts.
