tomaszhajzler Posted July 26, 2013 Author Share Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) Welcome! You are all very kind. Your opinion are very motivated. I'd like to describe how i made this strange, long tube. This is arrester hook control cable drive. I rolled thin aluminium foil in tube. I put inside smooth part of drill the same diametr to make cut-out along the tube. I glued thin self adhesive foil outside the tube. On the end i put transparent stick inside to reinforce construction. Remember to paint the tube first, than put inside stick. I added some small details and that's all. Of course, I made this detail in second attempt, first one in my opinion was to thick, about 0,15 mm in diameter.

tomaszhajzler Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 Hi everybody! Thank you for such hot comments. I'm glad that my project could be inspiration for someone. Fantastic work Tomaz - I am extremely impressed, especially your seat, which looks very like a Curtiss P-40 seat! Derek Yes, you are right. I couldn't find picture of all pilot seat, only small fragments. One of them compared to P 40 or P 38 seat. I chose last of them. I took one from Trumpeter kit and made test fitting. Dimensions were OK. So i used it as a master. All detailes were made according photos. I closed fuselage on the end of 2012. Good summary of the year. Regards, Tomasz.

tomaszhajzler Posted August 3, 2013 Author Share Posted August 3, 2013 (edited) Hi everybody after break! I decided to close front part of the cockpit making cockpit bulkead. Next step- to creat new skin. I started from the cockpit. You can see closed upper part of fuselage just behind the cockpit on two last photos. I made double skin, the inner one the same way as bottom earlier to creat frames and rivets inside of the fuselage.
