FlorinM Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) The console on the left side of the cockpit was located at 6.5 millimeters from the edge of the cockpit, when it should have sat deeper, at 8 millimeters. First it should have rested against the floor (if it did not sit on the floor there would be no no need for cutouts in the said floor) and secondly it should have matched the rivet pattern on the outside, also not the case. Thirdly the scale accurate throttle quadrant could not sit in its position without having to be trimmed at the bottom. The console was removed and will be relocated to its more accurate position.

FlorinM Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) The new floor is starting to take shape, it is now comprised of two parts, the upper that shall receive its plywood sections and under it is the top of the wing with its rows of rivets, it needs the fuel gauges and control column to be installed.

FlorinM Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) The new, more accurately rendered floor sections are quite different from the previous versions. Rough shapes are there, will need further detailing. Finally the purpose of the leather cover makes sense, it was a weight saving measure to obstruct the hole under the pilot's seat.

FlorinM Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) The wing fuel gauges won't be that visible in the end, but at least are there... Edited April 28, 2015 by FlorinM Ralph-D, sandokan and Sharkmouth 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlorinM Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 A 2.5 by 6 mm piece of paper was added to the Aires instrument panel. Six pieces of wire, rendering the various armament switches will be added later. Sharkmouth and sandokan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
