I started this while I was waiting for parts for the Revell 1/32 P-51D. Thought I would see what would happen if I tried one of these no locating tab small part kits with my really shaky hands due to recent medical treatments. It has been a challenge but I am getting there. I didn't do anything in the cockpit other than the aft bulkhead because the parts supplied looked more appropriate for a go kart and the windows are small and the clarity was poor. I just painted the inside of the canopy Tamiya Smoke and the rest black. I have a Collect-Aire 1/48 kit and I promise to do a better cockpit on it if I ever get to it. The fit was really pretty good on the major parts. Getting the horizontal stabilizers on in the right location and in trim with each other was interesting. I am using the Testors glue that comes in the black square bottle. It has good tack but cures slowly allowing adjustments until things look right. Definitely an iterative process when your hands have a mind of their own.
