@fiveten - that's a very nice looking cockpit! I think this model is going to end up in your Top Ten.

Thanks my friend @tcinla!
Spiros Pendedekas said 2 years, 4 months ago:

Cockpit almost finished, decaling going on...

Thanks for stopping by!

Great work, Spiros @fiveten
Almost time to get her on her feet.

Thanks my friend @johnb!

And this is how the interior will look like in the end.
Just taped it to the fuselage. In a later stage it will be mounted into the fuselage from the bottomside.

And the instrumentation panel which has a decal placed at the backside to give the meters a bit of depth and 3d effect.

The interior looks absolutely superb, my friend @johnb!
Spiros Pendedekas said 2 years, 4 months ago:

Decaling finished, as well as the cockpit...

Some job to be done at the less than perfect rear gun base to fuselage joint. Also elected not to fill and sand the two ejector pin marks at the gunners wall, above the leather belt, as they will practically be invisible under my closed canopy. Thanks for stopping by!
3 additional images. Click to enlarge.

@fiveten, thanks a lot, Spiros.

Great dual seater interior, Spiros @fiveten
A wise decision on the ejector pins.
Barely visible but an almost impossible exercise to get them removed.

The cockpit looks great, Spiros (@fiveten), especially the instrument panel. Hopefully mine will be coming along soon.
