Post by **mustang1989** » Thu Sep 15, 2016 4:12 am

I started detailing out the battery and tray as well as the bombsight this morning. Will post more pics when I get some more work done but we're moving forward with this one again. :dancing:

Still on this one full steam. I've got a sideline build over in the Auto section (Der Beetle Bus) but it's only when I'm waiting for paint to dry or if I get stumped. This one's got all the glory right now so be looking for some photos up pretty quick here.

Ok Thomas and gang I've got some pics I think are worth sharing so you guys know I'm still building an aircraft. lol . I decided to do before and after photos because just looking at it the cockpit at first doesn't really look like I've mad a lot of progress. There are a few items more however and yes it's been tedious.

This is where I left off:

and this is where I'm at now:

More coming................

Thanks Kari. There's a lot more parts to hang on this thing I can tell you that. Probably in the 25-30 count range.

The last couple of days have had some very tedious work involved but I think it will be all worth it when the cockpit tub is finished. I got the wiring installed at the back side of the rudder pedals and all painted. I've still got some detail work to pick out on the pedals themselves but I had to get some sort of progress shot up. Looks like I may have to zip that L/H rudder pedal off and trim the front of the pedal up a little. Macro shots........the best tool and set of eyeballs a guy could ask for.
