Warbird Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) Hi Guys, Working on the double seater Trumpy Super Bug. The rear cockpit deck (behind the rear seat, with canopy open) is devoid of any detail. I have the D&S v.9 but there is only one pic of the starbord side of the rear cockpit deck. I cannot find anything on the net, especially the port side. Any help welcomed. Thanks! PS : For those interested, the Avionix F/A-18D resin cockpit fits quite nicely (elbow grease needed, like for a bad fitting Aires cockpit, though).

Juggernut Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) There are several great photos of precisely that area in Jake Melampy's book The Modern Super Hornet Guide The Boeing F/A-18E/F & EA-18G Exposed, 2nd Edition . Page 57 in that book specifically. Sorry, I will not scan that page and post or otherwise transmit it, that wouldn't be right (and I think somewhat illegal and if not, it would take a few dollars out of Jake's pocket were I to do that). The book is worth every penny it costs. You may be able to get it from a vendor in Europe (assuming your location is Geneva, Switzerland) but I posted a link to the publisher just in case that doesn't work out for you or I'm wrong about your location.

If you're building a superbug prior to block 26 it is applicable if I'm not out in left field but post block 26, I think it's lacking. Yep, looked up the info in Jake's book I just posted a link to . Edited January 25 by Juggernut Removed the comment about the Trumpeter kit cockpit as it's moot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warbird Posted Friday at 05:02 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 05:02 PM Thank you Juggernut. I'm builing an early superbug (Blue Angel #7) so that resin cockpit is ok with some modifications (intrument panels, mostly). Anyway it is 300% better than the kit cockpit.
