Guest Peterpools Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Peter Just always marvel at your problem solving abilities and most of all, being able to visualize the individual components and create the most intricate assemblies.

airscale Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 I can't wait to see the cockpit area going off the wheel bay! Lovely stuff Peter..... thanks Radleigh & all of you speaking of which.... I have been a busy bee, but not in a traditional way - I decided to get some bespoke PE made up for the cockpit so have been busy designing it.. ..I don't know how to drive the layered graphics program needed (Illustrator or Coreldraw) so I just do it in Powerpoint and give the designs to my very clever graphic artist who will do what's needed before I can get them off to my PE supplier PPD in Scotland for a one off job. It's not cheap, but worth it for the effect and the work it will save me. I am very fortunate to have a few period shots of N7654C's cockpit so have designed against this... it seems like it had a new panel fitted after military service as it is subtly different from the other reference I have - that said, much of the rest of the cockpit is common so pretty straightforward to get better reference shots to work from.. anyways, here she is in 1980... ..and here is the artwork.. ..I printed negative paper copies to get the sizing right... ..onwards & upwards...

dodgem37 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 You may be able to PE the windscreen detail. Just a thought. Sincerely, Mark airscale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Buddee Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) Not a lot in the way of superlatives that I can add here Peter that haven't already been expressed. Brilliant execution all the way man! Nice use of a 1/32nd Spitfire generator in the nose gear bay as well. Wow, just wow!

Out2gtcha Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I'm not in a place to do it Peter (typing from my phone atm and have to jet out of here), but tomorrow I'm going to hook you up with some who I think may be able to give you some inside info on the TBM F7F firebombers. Looks great!! airscale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaffyMan Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Yeah way to go Peter loving this can't wait to see it in the flesh at Telford! Looking at the cockpit pic Peter I'd say those wires on the side are prime for Brian's Ezline technique - see his BroncoCool bring it on we want more!!!!
