A small plastic ring is glued onto the nosecone tip and sanded to shape. This will allow the easier installation of the pitot tube.

Album info

Trumpeter's kit is fairly nice and has good external details, but as it comes with Trumpeter, some parts are totally off. With this kit it's the nosecone, which is about 10mm too long! A Quickboost resin replacement is a good investment here. Vertical tail is also missing a large detail, so I'm using the Pavla resin replacement. The cockpit is basically empty, so I scratchbuilt some details and printed custom decal for the instrument panel.
