alaninaustria Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Hi Radu, what a journey so far eh?! That cockpit is Smithsonian quality mate.... absolutely beautiful..... I think that you have not only set a benchmark in quality and detail with this kit, but also set a future "kit" standard...all the PE, the decals, the art work etc etc etc!! Great job mate!

mahernandez Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Radu, Do you think they will add a wiring diagram for the back of the instruments and the plumbing for the rudder peddals, etc. in the instruction sheet? Mark H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattlow Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Radu Just to say I agree totally with what Alan says above. Like I said last week, don't let Bob sell any to mysterious Chinese customers especially if they're name's Peter Trum. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coanda Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 well, as i said before our little 'discussion' its all first class work radu, I am looking forward to getting me mitts on one! - now if only mdc replied to emails! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radub Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share Posted October 4, 2007 Thanks everyone for your kind words. Mark H. The kit will include soft wire for the cables and conduits. I am working on the instructions right now. In the instructions I will write that I recommend consulting references for the cable layout. Coanda, as I said before, I have very little to do with the MDC's side of things. Maybe you should ring them - it is only 2c a minute with Skype. That small effort is more likely to lead to results than telling me about it. Radu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radub Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 A couple of quick "requests". I was asked to show some pictures of the interior of the cockpit. Here are some: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cees Broere Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Radu Absolutely amazing work, I wonder how you build this cockpit so fast while I'll still stuck in the ID Models Halifax, what's the secret. Any tips? I seem to work on other parts of the model now just to avoid working on the cockpit Cheers Cees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radub Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 Thanks Cees, much appreciated. I find that when I lack motivation, the hardest thing is to get started. Once I make a start, things progress naturally (sometimes I find it hard to stop ). I also try to get something finished every day, even if it is a very small thing. Little by little the lot will eventually get done. I also give myself deadlines - it helps to focus. Hope this helps, Radu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cees Broere Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Radu, Yes, it does. I will set myself a task at a time. Now working on the inner engine nacelles. Next stop after that, back to the cockpit. Thanks Cees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
