chuck540z3 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Hi gents- Still my first love on the bench. Starting to get my mojo back for this one- Life seems to be simplifying itself last few months- All good. Time to focus. Build some stuff. Cheers Pete Yeah Pete, quit flying real airplanes and get back down to our level of wannabees! Chuck allthumbs and Uilleann 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Fleischmann Posted June 6, 2017 Author Share Posted June 6, 2017 Hi Everyone! Hercules- Funny you should ask today of all days...After a very long break, the big AT-38 is back on the bench..Much thanks to Timmy! for gently prodding me. I've started tinkering with the gunsight, glareshield, and rudder pedals... pics up when there is something interesting to show, but yes I am back at it- Cheers Pete Lenny320, easixpedro, Jim Barry and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Fleischmann Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) Hello Gents- Proof of life. I've been busy sorting out the fitting of the front instrument panel and glareshield, as well as the windscreen. They are all somewhat interdependent, so much fiddling and head scratching while working on several things at once, which all should come together in a glorious burst of accomplishment or something.. Here is the forward section. This will get a gunsight, plus a lot of other stuff- And then the windscreen..After I attached the bow, it flexed in slightly, so I had to install metal pins on the canopy rails that fit into holes at the corner of the windscreen- all of this to get it to fit properly. The grey goo on the bow is filler to fix a gap that will be sanded clean. More to follow! It's nice to be playing with this one again- Cheers Pete Edited June 19, 2017 by Pete Fleischmann Out2gtcha, Rdrunner, sandokan and 16 others 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaninaustria Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Pete, that has to be the nicest and most realistic instrument panel I've ever seen! Really talented and beautiful work!! Cheers Alan A-10LOADER 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
