This is my first attempt at a replacment resin cockpit. I have a Legends Productions P-40B/C resin cockpit for my Academy P-40C model.

The main problem is the resin kit came with NO instructions whatsoever. I dont know If I need to glue the side walls of the cockpit to the fuselage first, then drop in the remaining cockpit, or what. I just dont want to make the mistake of gluing something down wrong, and then the whole thing not working because of it. It sucks because I have already painted and detailed the resin parts. If anyone has any expierence with this, any pointers would be most helpful...

Good question ..looks like you've done a great job painting it up ..why not try using some blu tac to see how everything fits first... I think it'll give you a good idea of how things are supposed to fit . I have a funny feeling that you should glue the tub all together and then add it once the two side are glued together but I don't know this product ,maybe tape the the four sides together and see how things fit that way... Good luck with it.
