Next up on the agenda for detailing is the sparse cockpit. Most details won't be seen once the cockpit is enclosed in the fuselage. Moreover, the cockpit is mostly black so most details will disappear. Needless to say I know it's there. Lol.
The RIO's cockpit received a new radar scope from Evergreen styrene, drilled out and clear plastic inserted to simulate the radar screen. The throttle controls were made from thin plasticard and rod. A resin instrument panel was sourced from the spares box. I added solder wire to the back of the instrument panel to replicate all the wiring for the various instruments. Lastly the ADF loop aerial was replaced with clear sprue sanded to shape. Details were added to the ADF loop aerial attachment point made from Evergreen styrene and solder wire.
