Scale Top Flite P-40 Build Thread

Next step is to install engine , cover all the control surfaces with mono and install all the servos and then paint and will be finished.

Worked a little more and got the gear pods glassed in with two coats of epoxy and all the servo hatches cut out and fitted and the arelon hinge slots cut. I think I did a good job fabricating the gear pods because the kit had two left pods. but think I ended up with something better.

I started building this plane one year ago and what I thought was going to be a 6 month project and turned into a little more than a year. I am at the end of the construction plans and only have to paint and finish and should have completely finished sometime in September. Project got slowed down by installation of non standard engine and landing gear problems where I had to design fixes.
