Pfuf Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Hi thanksI got some work done on the interior first sprayed a Vallejo interior Green 71010 Yellow mix colorThen the interior Green 71010 and after that in the corners Dark Green Vallejo 71012.I made the instruments Black so later on get the details painted on.So then I returnt to the cockpit panels and used some pastel pensels and weatherd it a bit.Now to get the used look I took the Airbrush cleaner from Vallejo and cotton tip and carefull rub the area were I wanted the wear done spots and this cleaner isnt that strong that all the paint comes of so layer for layer.still need some spot for the wood showing in front the padels.Back to the Bf109 need to finish them this week...Have funJohan Bos Iain, Derek B, jgrease and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youngtiger1 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Wow, nice start Johan. Looks like you going to fist kid on the block to say "I've got Big Black Widow under the glass case"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimW Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 That worn effect on the seat is brilliant! Anybody adding seat cushions for the pilot? I made one up with Tamiya tape for the back. I figure there wasn't a seat cushion as they sat on their 'chutes like most aviators from this period. Tim W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksdad64 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Wow, nice start Johan. Looks like you going to fist kid on the block to say "I've got Big Black Widow under the glass case"... I think that crown has already gone to John 'Tigger' Wilkes. Johan, I am also loving the worn effect on the bum tray. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Johan Super work on the interior and it'e weathering. Keep 'em coming :popcorn: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pfuf Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 (edited) Hi thanks for the complimentsI have a question about the back wall behind the front gunner looking with google at photos I found this Facebook page from Sqaudron shopA great looking resin cockpit in progress from Avionix http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151511515578618.1073741827.325219133617&type=1Did they use a cloth to close this passage if so I hope I need to try to make this with Magic sculp.A other note about the instrument panel I see on some photos under the vertical panel a horizontal panel with dials Like in the restoration of the P-61Bhttp://www.maam.org/p61/images/More%20wiring%20at%20the%20instrument%20panel.%20%20Completed%20harnesses%20have%20cannon%20plugs%20installed%20which%20are%20wrapped%20in%20plastic..jpgHobby boss made I think the early panel from the P-61A with therounded lever panel row (lower and upper cowl flaps vavles).Here a little progress note the dials are most just ones I have a fit the space.And looking at the pdf black widow operation instruction I see this Panel were it looks the organized it in a differend way. Oh that right black box have to be Interior color.I Hope any of your experts can explain this.Have funJohan bos Edited May 5, 2013 by Pfuf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Peterpools Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Johan Fantastic progress on the front office, as the weathering looks just right. Thanks also for the link for the Avonix P-61 cockpit from the Squadron, as this just might be the tip of the iceberg of AM upgrades and details sets to be coming down the pike Keep 'em coming :popcorn: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandy 1 VX 4 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Johan on the cloth cover on the back wall of the cockpit. YES its right. Page 28 bottom right pic in Evolution of the P-61 Black Widow Warren Thompson Squadron #6126. But most I think had a metal panel in its place.

Derek B Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Thanks Johan for the link and Nice Work on the pit too Your photo of the cockpit is a YP-61 to A model. The http://www.maam.org/...in plastic..jpg is a B model The cloth covering the rear bulkhead access aperture was common on most P-61 aircraft. Vandy, could you show me the photograph of the YP-61to A model, as I cannot see it? Cheers Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
