Radub Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 Last one for today. I am putting the finishing touches to the sidewalls and floor. As the work on them is progressing, I will post some photos. Radu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PietvWdV Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Wow! Truly amazing. What is the process you use when making those instrument panels with the neat bezels and faces. I assume later you punch the instrument face as a decal? A closeup of that stunning gunsight would be appreciated! Great work as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radub Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 Hi Piet, I will see what I can do about a clearer photo of the gunsight. My new camera is not that good at taking macro photos. The dials were made with a punch and die. First, I made the holes, then I made the rings from pieces of tubing thinned and cut with my lathe. MDC makes instrument decals now.

Guest LSP_Jay L Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 AWESOME!! One of my favourite aircraft and models of all time getting the Radu treatment! What more could I ask for? That is some spectacular work on the instrument panel Radu. Is this going to be a master by any chance?... I'll be following this build very closely! If your camera takes RAW images, you will not need to use the Macro facility as you can cut and crop the image to show off the desired area without losing clarity. Cheers mate, Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
