Aires Cockpit(modified):
The a/c didn't have the fuselage fuel tank and therefore had a different radio installation than those so equipped. Added s/b SCR-695 IFF and sliding shelf; battery box. Moved SCR-522 and accumulator.
Scratched pilots armor as a/c didn't have first-aid pack behind pilot's head.
Added SS seat rails.
First Cockpit shot:
More photos to follow. All comments welcome.
Cheers,

PS: Don't have a digital SLR w/ micro lens so detail shots are the best I can get out of my point and shoot. Maybe one day......
