Yep, I can't see me wearing an Irvin; Frock, White; "blues" and pattern 36 boots in the cockpit in a 38deg Celcius balmy summer's day here!!
I know from the F16 that a Helmet, Mask and Harness in any sort of weather BOILS you.
Oh well...when I get away from these 80 hour weeks I will make some progress towards the "war-y shots" you want,

A life on the ocean wave,
A-home on the rolling deep!
Where the scater'd waters rave,
And the winds their revels keep.
Like an eagle caged I pine
On this dull, unchanging shore.
Oh give me the flashing brine,
The spray and the tempest's roar.

An X-wing cockpit would be nice. Or you can go all out and do the Millennium Falcon's pit!

A little progress (by my mate, not me):
A real De-icing pump, these come in several slightly different models:
And the mock up made by Gwyn:
Ever the comedian......
But at least it solves my "where the %**@ did I put my pencil" problems.
I have also recieved the type G fuse box and Camera Heating switch for the Camera Selector Box.
I've decided that after 31 x 12 or 14 hour days straight, and another 14 at least to come, I am going to take Sunday off and
do some more building.
Hopefully Sunday I can get her flyable and do some of the selector as well..but not holding my breathe
