Gpm 155 f4 e
This is a build of the GPM 155, scale 1:33. I built this with a few modifications that I thought would enhance it for display,
Formers cut and laid out front to back, I painted the interior of the Nose Radar Cover Yellow Front Wheel Bay Cockpit and Seats

Take lots of care with the alignment from front to back Josh, it is real easy to get a twist on this model. I used alignment jigs made out of foam board to keep the keel even as I went along.

This is the completed front of the fuselage. The radar cone cover, The mini gun, the cockpits front and rear, the front landing gear strut and door assemblies. I would not glue on any of the parts of the door assemblies as there is a lot of handling yet to come. Keep all small parts for the completion of the main body of the plane. Canopies are the last parts to go on.
The mini gun cover was glued in position, but I would not do this, hold it for the end of the build. I left the cover off of the end of the mini gun right under the nose cone, and instead painted the inside of the mini gun cover flat black with an acrylic paint this lets the end of the mini gun show and the black cleans up the look of the model. I also painted the inside of the air intakes black before forming them.
