Barry Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 Harold Looking Good! Sounds like your "gimmick" for the stick will work well for those wanting to position the flight control surfaces. Good planning. I had the same thoughts when I looked at the Avionix set regarding the detail on the side consoles. Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildWeasel78 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Hello Harold That looks very good , how much the Price/available for your Cockpit Set ? greetings Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I checked out the Avionix set over at HyperScale site. I looks like they added the correct seat. Now it looks a lot better. It still looks odd to me, maybe due to the exaggerated side consoles. He has one of them sitting way up. I haven't found anything that looks like that. Again, maybe it just me.... Update: I have been scanning through my refs, it looks like the Avionix pit tub is a "generic" tub. It has some details that are in the F-80A, IE:the raised console panel, the throttle track and a few other small details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Hello Harold That looks very good , how much the Price/available for your Cockpit Set ? greetings Michael It is goingto be a couple more weeks before I have the avialable. Maybe soner, but I want to make sure I get them correct. The pricing is around $32 shipped right now. I will see what it cost me before a firm price.

Spaced Marine Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Thanks Will.Now I need to get life out of the way of making resin.. Good luck there! I'm having a hard time getting life out of the way just to build a model for more than 5 minutes a day! One of the reasons why I am slow as Christmas in my builds. Any plans on making P-80A parts? For those of us who are rather nuts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they are putting two seats in the kit. Early and Late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spruemeister Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Are there armrests on the seat in A? I can't find a picture of an A seat anywhere other than a little bit of the top with the bar and belts. Is the seat bucket basically the same shape as the later seats? Rick L.

Is the seat bucket basically the same shape as the later seats? Rick L. I have all the manuals on the F-80's. The drawings show no arm rest. It looks similar to the P-38 seat! There are no foot troughs. The right console resembles the Avionix pit, but the left is very different than the C pit. I have my 'pit version sitting in rubber right now. I will see what it looks like tomorrow. If I see that there will be enough interest in the early A's, I may do one for that as well. We shall see.

Spaced Marine Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I read somewhere that the A models did use a P-38 seat originally, just as their tip tanks were derived from the P-38. Typical Kelly Johnson. If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF18 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I am following this with some interest, mainly because I would love to find a T-33 in this scale. Anybody here care to venture an opinion on the likelihood they might put out a T-bird based on this kit? ALF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
