All credit to you Chris. The job you have done on that cockpit is outstanding. That looks like a show winner to me. I am loving watching you piece this together. Thank you for sharing the journey with us. Looking forward to more.
Norm ,you can actually see quite a bit of it ,especially with the big open canopy
Speaking of which , This is the last time you'll see the cockpit before it gets closed up in the fuselage .
I installed the last few parts ...gunner/navigator seat & back rest and the ammo rack . Still have the rear gun & mount ,also the forward gunsight to go in ,but they will go in later .
Over the weekend I got the interior walls of the fuselage and a few other bits painted up ready for assembly . The interior was based with black ,then the XF22 RLM Grey ,then I lightened it and sprayed a patchy coat on just to add a bit of depth .
Then it was time to close up the fuselage ??? I must admit I did have concerns about how well this would all go together especially with the belly of the aircraft being already fixed to the cockpit !
However ...it all went together a breeze and minimal filling will be needed ...seams mostly ;D
