Bill_S 5,098 Posted December 1, 2016 (edited) IP nearly complete. Most dials are Airscale; there are a few Waldron pieces thrown in for good measure. I decided to clean out the oil cooler exhaust vent. A lot more work than it looks!

mozart 6,825 Posted December 1, 2016 But worth the effort Bill! It's attention to small details that make all the difference: opening up vents, thinning edges etc etc. Max 3 mpk, Bill_S and KiwiZac reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Derek B 3,416 Posted December 2, 2016 Great work Bill - that cockpit instrument panel is definitely a vasy improvement upon the kit supplied part. Derek 1 Bill_S reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill_S 5,098 Posted December 2, 2016 Looks great, Bill, but touch up of those bleeds...please. Shaka - one nice thing about the camera (I think) - it shows things these tired old eyes don't necessarily see. I've got some tiny files, and it's done... 1 Shaka HI reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill_S 5,098 Posted December 2, 2016 (edited) Short update: Fuselage interior is primed; a couple of light coats of RAF interior green are on. Still more to go. Rudder pedals: Trimmed to set height: Trimmed again to set depth; held in place (as is the IP) with white glue. Lots of instrument boxes, throttle quadrants, compass, etc. Tedious work this weekend!

Dpgsbody55 649 Posted December 3, 2016 I'm very impressed with this. I think Bill is pushing some boundaries in taking a kit devoid of detail and adding much more to it. Isn't this surely what the modeler's art is about?? As to whether it is visible once built, all Bill has to do is open the top hatch on the cockpit and the Observer's hatch and you'll see all this hard work. That would be my approach. Keep up the good work, Bill. Cheers, Mike 3 mpk, MikeC and Bill_S reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
