Tinbanger Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 i have many non 1:32 scale models of all types some started and some still in the box. 1:32 scale aircraft has become my go to scale, the first build that I am to build here is a P-61B convertion. Joel you will have a flash back to 2013 on another web site that now is in decline! As you can see this is a Lone Star resin convertion. Thank's for stopping by.

Tinbanger Posted June 18, 2017 Author Share Posted June 18, 2017 Ground off the extra resin in the main body and opened up the tail booms to add a wall in the front of the wheel wells and to add lead as anti tail sittter measure.:- Richard.

Tinbanger Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 I have filled the wings and booms with fishing shot ahead of the wheel wells to aid anti tail sitting:- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 When I built the 1/72 scale Dragon He-219, I had to fill every available cavity in front of the main wheel axis with lead. And it still was a close-run thing. I bet those twin booms are heavier than the twin tail of the 219. Good luck! Tinbanger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel_W Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Rich, Don't know how I missed this. I'll be following along for sure. So far you're doing one heck of a job. Love how you ground out the solid resin to stuff lead up there. The P-61B does bring a few flashbacks, but mine was the GWH 1/48 scale P-61A Black Widow.
