Barry Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Ciao, You Cockpit looks awesome, I used the same for my A-7D and it is great. Take care when fitting the wheel wells. I used the Aires set on my A-7D and they look great but take a lot of sanding, filing and shimming to get them to fit well. My set was short and left a large gap at the forward end. First and second pictures are of gap at forward end of both left and right wheel wells. Third photo show the plastic card stock I used to close the gap and create new sealing surface for gear doors. Keep up the great work, Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
