spacewolf Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 Ok, here we go. The weekend wasn't too bad but I didn't get as much done as I would have liked. The MLB playoffs took up a large amount of my time !! Figuring out how to do what I wanted to do slowed me down some too, so it was do a bit, walk away and think about it, come back and do a bit more.... scratching the big stuff is easy...doing the tiny bits is a royal pain ! I painted the side wall and weathered it, then following the picture I have as close as possible I built the panel and instrument as I had the others and glued it in place. Next came the fuel line, made from twist tie wire. Paper wrapped around and glued with super glue was used for the clamped section. Extra thin bits of paper made the clamp's on either end. Paint was a mix of Vallejo and Tamiya. The panel and counters just under the fuel pipe was just a angle bit of 1/16th scrap with a bit of the negative glued on with fingernail polish.

spacewolf Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 With everything painted I glued the bits in place... One of the lower pipes is attached to the cockpit floor, the instrument panel attached and the T handle is almost ready for paint. Hopefully I'll get the rest of the cockpit done this week. Most of the stuff is done so I can get back to the big bits ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacewolf Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 With some paint splashed on the control stick I fitted the floor and took a few shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacewolf Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 There is a bit yet to do, the gun sight, the seat harness and I need to redo the rear control runs from the throttle quadrant as they got trashed while fitting the floor and seat, but getting close to being done.
