Smile Forward section

The nose section will attach to the center section here

Nose gear bay ready. Most will be covered up, so no worries about any details here.

nose sections

and the assembly. The cockpit tub will be installed after the fuselage is joined.

I added a piece of wood above the nose gear for extra support to the nose gear to be installed later on

Cool Fuselage balance

Here is the fuselage
Lavochkin La-150 1/33 scale-img_1783.jpgLavochkin La-150 1/33 scale-img_1784.jpg

notice it will be a "tail seater" unless weight is added to the nose.

I added 2 small balls right behind the nose inlet. CA super glue did the trick.

Hopefully that is enough weight in the nose. You don't want to have to do surgery again.

It worked great. That is why I inserted temporary small metal pins where the gear struts would fit and make sure I compensate for the tail sections to be added later on.

Exclamation Cockpit-initial build

The cockpit of this model is very spartan ( sparse ). Hardly any detail.

The tub is assembled
Lavochkin La-150 1/33 scale-img_1792.jpgLavochkin La-150 1/33 scale-img_1793.jpg


and then inserted thru the fuselage opening.

The rest will be added later.
