Anthony in NZ Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Bill, I echo everyone else's comments, that cockpit is stunning! One of (if not) the best Spit cockpits I have seen done. I will have to save those images as ref for my future Vc conversion of my Tamiya IXc….And any other future British cockpits for that matter! Superb mate Cheers Anthony Martinnfb and williamj 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Buddee Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Fantastic work Bill! Is that a Yahu IP? I'm assuming you're still going to add the fittings and cables for the rudder to the ends of the actuator rods...... You know you want to.........

dodgem37 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Great show. One cockpit had an oxygen bottle behind it and another had a fuel tank? Why the difference? Thank you. Sincerely, Mark williamj and Martinnfb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sincerely, Mark Thanks Mark...my guess on the low back fuel tank..see a number of RCAF highback fourteens with the belly tank(slipper tank),not on the low back though. so perhaps the aft tank on the XIVe was extra internal fuel and negated the large belly tank use.

williamj Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) Finally received my brass fasteners in the mail..still waiting for the late war RAF seatbelts we ordered,cockpits are ready to close up. The fasteners are about 1.12 mm..countersunk 1.15 shallow holes for them,,they will be flat pressed into place after painting,then a semi gloss over top should hold them..they're small. and yes there's a small patch there cause we slipped. cheers for now ...Bill Edited February 10, 2019 by williamj BloorwestSiR, Uncarina, dennismcc and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
