fozzy Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 Hi there Well .....I managed to fix the problem with the cockpit dimensions and I think that when I place the control columns in place they wont brush against the side walls as they did before!.... ...well they better not else there will be trouble!! Here are the unpleasant to look at photos of the reconstruction!!!........................ ...........and all back together again.......... So now I am back to where I was a few days ago.....lets hope there are no other issues! Next post I will have the control columns in place.

fozzy Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 Cheers Boris! Hi to all hope everyone is fine and happily modelling away!! Okay........so after the nightmare of the last post I have managed to get the control columns finished and installed! I am pleased that I took the time to adjust the cockpit walls as now the control columns sit in their place nicely . Here are the columns painted and ready to be installed.............................. The little canvas boots on the bottom of the sticks were a bit of a pain to replicate....I decided to use some stretchy tissue...here they are in the process of being made............................ Next up was the rudder trim tab wheel and the locking handles.....of course I forgot to drill out the holes for the locking handles to sit in ...should have done that ages ago when I was constructing the floors ...so it took longer than it should have done because I was trying not to smash everything else in the drills path!!...I managed to get the holes drilled and built the wheel and handles out of scrap plastic.................... So here is a shot of the parts built ............................... So here we have a few shots/angles of the control columns...WARNING....photo heavy!! ..... I have to say that I am very pleased with the way it is looking in the cockpit so far......when I have signed off here I am going to start on the pilot/co pilot seats and frames. Thanks guys for taking the time to have a nose at this nutty project!! bye for now Fozzy sandokan, Sparzanza, Rainer Hoffmann and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
