pzcreations Posted June 3, 2009 Author Posted June 3, 2009 Thanks Jeff! Im a little frustrated on this kit right now.. remember me mentioned earlier how the dash looked too tall... well...its way too tall! So tall it almost fills the front windscreen.. the new HUD I made... well, you can barely see it...the pilot couldnt see it at all the dash is so tall.. look... HUD Its there...peek a boo..now ya see it... Now ya dont.. man Im ticked..on top of that I got the top dash on crooked.. oh well.. got a useless HUD..but at least its a purty dash board really wish I had used the BB cockpit now
Barry Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 You're right it is way too tall. The Gun Sight (not HUD) should be clearly visible above IP. Like so.
pzcreations Posted June 3, 2009 Author Posted June 3, 2009 not really sure what I can do about it.. other than use JUST the dash from the BB kit.. otherwise, its leave it as is..what do you guys think? $30 just for a dashboard? or leave it this way
big matt Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Is that the kit panel??? I saw a fix for that somewhere. I am trying to remember where though. Not sure if it was on Hyperscale or not. I know the Aires set has it lower but that is pricey.
pzcreations Posted June 3, 2009 Author Posted June 3, 2009 its the Eduard panel, but the kit dash. but I compared the kit piece with the eduard and theyre the same size.
Pfuf Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 hi I think it's the overal model of the canopy and the fuselage it is a bit flat I did a check with myn model and have the same problem. I will use the plastic cover and will stick some soort of cloth on it and keep it so flat as possible. Still don't forget the fish eye and other fotografick problems there was little room on top of the panel http://www.airfighters.com/photo/1753/M/US...rchief/58-1155/ Hope I dont miss use any right to post this picture cant rember from were I did get this from.
Motion 2 Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Check some photos on the US Cockpit site and I think you will find most of the problem here is too flat a canopy. Hasn't this been a problem with most of Trumps' jets? http://uscockpits.com/Jet%20Fighters/F-105...nderchief21.jpg
Jeff8600 Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Tim it is too tall but I'd just leave it that sure is a lot of nice work to rip out!

Barry Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 PZ, I posted photos on your question about having the BB Cockpit. Barry
pzcreations Posted June 3, 2009 Author Posted June 3, 2009 thanks Barry, I appreciate that.. and motion, I believe your right about the windscreen as well, it does look a bit flat around the edge..where as the real one looks tall and rounded.. Johan.. that one piece you mention of installing is too tall as well, since its designed to go over the panel.
levier Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 PZ, Great work here... here's a reference cockpit shot: http://www.flightof2photography.com/galler...&startAt=16 HTH Brian Silcox http://www.flightof2photography.com
