1/18 Airacobra 1 - AH601


airscale

Recommended Posts

Thank you gents - you are really too kind :)

 

Well, I got to my favourite part in the build - the cockpit & instrument panel :wub:

 

I don't know why, but I have always enjoyed this the most, I guess thats how airscale started..

 

I just got in a groove so no in progress pics, but the parts are made from PE, 3D, custom decals scaled up from our own airscale ones (of which I have about 100 sets now eek), wire, plastic, metal, some hiroboy switches and some of our metallic placards

 

...first up a control box on the left side of the cockpit which includes a bunch of circuit breakers..

..next, the centre console which includes an RAF radio fit - no idea what it is but its in the Pilots Notes pictures

..for the main instrument panel, it sits up and proud under the windshield and I think a lot of gubbins can be seen (unless covered by a canvas boot thing) so I made it as it can be seen..

..loved doing it and think I could just make these instead of whole areoplanes..
