Thanks Andy. Nobi's kits are a fun build.

Meanwhile, I will be happy to see the next phase of Robert's OD and gray P-59.

I think a pre-war natural aluminum finish...or simulation there of....would be a possibility one day.
Next phase coming up.

And with that, my next little phase. Have not been able to get much building done of this model. I sidetracked into another short project which I got one phase done with and going on to at least two more phases.

Anyway, the pictures....that is why you visit the thread right?:D

The completed fuselage with the wing frame built up.

Now to get a little more done. Not too many parts left actually....the engine pods have the most parts to build up after this. Oh and I still need to form a canopy.....got the plug done though.

Thanks Chris.

Thanks Nothing. I actually like the detail you put on the instrument panel in your model.

Plugging away at this model piece by piece. Here are the latest couple of shots....she's got wings! And they are wide.

Did anyone else complete this model and can post some pictures here?

It appears that this model is no longer available for purchase.

but as I stated, there is a need to correct the canopy and the tail to reflect the XP-59A and not the production versions.

I would purchase this model for sure.
