jeroen_R90S Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 (edited) Such a strange looking aircraft, but nice work so far! On the other hand, I like how the A-6 Intruder looks, so I'm probably not representative in any way Edited February 11, 2021 by jeroen_R90S blackbetty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutik Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I would use a Zippo. They are made from metal. Much more weight at the nose Regards - dutik Rainer Hoffmann and blackbetty 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share Posted February 25, 2021 some more work on the gearlegs and wheelwells (lots of guesswork) led me to the conclusion that i better do the pit next, because the plane is easier to handle with out the legs themongoose, Harold, patricksparks and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) so i started on the front pit. it really isnt easy to positon the seats and rear wall of the front pit only after pics. the drawings i have are also guesswork Edited February 25, 2021 by blackbetty GMK, themongoose, dutik and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbetty Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share Posted February 25, 2021 Harolds seats are the main parts here. i think i made the rear pit too shallow, i may have to deepen it a little stay tuned.... patricksparks, GMK, Scotsman and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbetty Posted February 26, 2021 Author Share Posted February 26, 2021 i lowered the rear floor, now the seat sits as it should, cutouts for the canopy hinges were made and partially boxed in, later they will be trimmed to fit the rear turtledeck is a piece of a mig 29 engine. instrument panels and the devider between the pits are next Rainer Hoffmann, HerculesPA_2, chukw and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbetty Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 i drew the instrument panels in illustrator next and used my plotter to cut 0.2 und 0.5 mm sheet. i will sandwich the main IP with airscale decals inbetween. the side consoles are just 0.2 thick themongoose, Greg W, Renegade and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
