That interior looks excellent, Antonio!

Thanks Gazas,  hope it is worth it although  won't be much visible when he canopy is on lol, cheers

 

progres from today is the Instrument panel,  used as reference guide  the amazing work of John Terrell simulators, they are so accurate.

Used mostly the Revell kit decals which are for the D-5 block,  it's been a labor of love,  had to cut each one independently to transfer to the panel, neck hurts but I'm satisfy ;) 

next is the seat, cheers

Great ‘pit Antonio.

I notice that you’ve shown more wear on the right floor panel than the left. I’ve seen this on many photos of Mustang cockpits, perhaps it’s because  right rudder was used more than left to counteract the gyroscopic effect of the propeller.

Antonio,

 

Exquisite work so far! Regarding the Terrell simulations, which I love having as a resource, weren’t the early seats more of a bucket design, while the later seats had more of a minimalist design? I’ve always been curious about this in his D-5 vs. D-30 simulations, which have them switched.

 

Cheers,  Tom
