blackbetty Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) next i sectioned the kit ip: the B/Ns ip is too high, but some sanding at the top corrects this: Edited January 20, 2014 by blackbetty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 the center console inclines to the ip, so it is cut out to be moved up: done: skinned with very thin sheet to extend the sides down and change shape for the center panel: shepard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 slid into its former position, just a tad higher at the front: center panel in place, inclination also changed. the pilots ip is moved forward corresponding with its new position: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 from the top, the new divider for the B/Ns ip is in place. i have used a template (on the right console) to get the lenght of it correct: the template of the right side ip in place: iclination of the right side ip changed, center divider cut to fit. i used a pic of the ip that also shows the frame of the windshield to get the angle close: the B/Ns center console will have to be moved back (and may change the position of his seat, we will see..... stay tuned Marcel111 and Uncarina 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daywalker Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Most impressive! I will follow your lead when I build mine, thanks for the photos showing how to do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Paul Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Great fix on the cockpit! I think both panels and center console look much better now! I don't have an "A" model but when the E TRAM version comes out I'll keep your modifications in mind. Great work! All the best, Paul Harold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) thank you for all the support, guys! i have now glued the panelparts together. a little angled panel suspends the B/Ns ip on the right on the top of the center console is a slightly angled panel for the ECM warning control panel i assembled the seats to get an idea of their position Edited January 21, 2014 by blackbetty Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) the B/Ns panel is now further back (as veryfied by photos of the real thing), this moves the center control panel with the little joystick back too. i had to cut it off and make it higher on the bottom, the top is slightly shortened on the front, then it is positioned further aft. the seats are staggered in the kit, but not quite enough, the B/Ns seat is to far forward Edited January 21, 2014 by blackbetty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) the B/Ns seat has to be moved back too now, so it doesnt interfere with the controlpanel between the knees of the B/N i pretty brutally cut the kit seats ejection rails off to be able to move it back Edited January 21, 2014 by blackbetty Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
