Medic's Demon

Added the instrument panel and cover so that I can add the canopy to check for any issues there.

Thanks guys! Yeah I knew about them taking off with the canopy open. A lot of the early jets were severely under powered or just aerodynamically horrible. The Cutlass was another one.

That's where the name "Gutless Cutlass" came from. Still a piece of naval history that they would rather sweep over the side.

[Medicman71]

We still need a good Cutlass in 1/48.

So I got the Quickboost resin seat for the Demon. It looks so much better than the kit one. Not sure what piece #1 is. Anyone know?

I like quickboost stuff. I'd guess thats the joystick.

[Medicman71]

Yeah that's what I thought as well.

How would you get any up elevator with it that close to the seat? Here's a cockpit tour from the Pensacola museum. And a screen shot from it showing the stick.

Pretty short review but with assembled pics. It's the joystick but doesn't look right to johns point and the curve of the handle is curious. But thats really nitpicking.

Thanks for the help guys! I think I can add the control stick where it was in the kit instead of up against the seat. Especially since I broke the kit supplied control stick.

Got the canopies masked.
