And continuing with the nose of the P-38.
The guns and the cannon were made with electric wire, but are still unpainted. It would have been better to paint them "burn iron" before to glue them, but it's too late. Let's see what happens when finished.
I included the weight inside the nose, Two grams. I estimate the necessary weight by placing a temporary nose (just a stick or tube) and adding ballast while the plane is placed over a ruler. The weight must be enought that, while the ruler is placed where the main weels will go, the nose goes down.
This section of the nose is where the words "Scat II" must go, so it will need a lot of care before assembling. The words will be painted just by the left side, as was usual in WWII planes.
