George, this beautiful quadruple bacon with diamond oak leaf and crossed swords had me in stitches. It's a beauty. I recon this should be adopted on this model forum as the ultimate accolade to a brilliant build......................What's the chances moderators.
Just keep in mind, we DO NOT drink Fosters here in Oz.....And I'm off bitchen about to many ejector pin marks and too much flash! My hats off to you guy; feeling kind of guilty. Off to drink away my guilt with a nice cold beer, not a Fosters though.
This will be one fantastic 'unique' build. Gonna be hard to top!
It's Saturday old friend, other forces may persist alternative chores.So the Other P-40B is out of the way, today I have worked on the cockpit of the Spit.
Painting will start tomorrow, if She allows.

However, She has her own things she likes to do. So most days she is home I am in the clear. I am the lucky one!It's Saturday old friend, other forces may persist alternative chores.
You are just very good in hiding and camouflage.she is home I am in the clear
Going very well. Just deciding if when IP was modified if they Replaced it with a 109-6 IP. Instrument had a real difference in appearance. All literature says that it was altered. The 109 is a very different shape.You are just very good in hiding and camouflage.
Was wondering how the Messerspit was going. Good to see it move on again.
Do not think the changed the i.p. that much. Chanching / swapping electric driven instrument because of voltage difference. All sides flew captured airframes and none that i know of rebuild the i.p. just for testing. Best case was some sticker above a specific instrument and a sheet with does and donts. Taxi 2 times and off you go. Learning on the job.Going very well. Just deciding if when IP was modified if they Replaced it with a 109-6 IP. Instrument had a real difference in appearance.

Painted interior green this arvo. Painting details and add it dirt and scratches .
It is mentioned the voltage was changed, remember the fact it had the engine change. It was flown often by based fighter pilots for joy rides, no armament.

Sorry Bill but i know. In fact i believe i have stated these in a thread a long time ago.It is mentioned the voltage was changed, remember the fact it had the engine change. It was flown often by based fighter pilots for joy rides, no armament. IP was altered.
I've never run across anything regarding changes in the cockpit, other than voltage change so it would be useful to know what was done.Sorry Bill but i know. In fact i believe i have stated these in a thread a long time ago.
What i dont think is they yanked out the ip board and made a new.. just replaces a 12v to 24 v speedo and a bit of tape saying when airborne and i.g. landing speed. I must have a view of it in my hd archive. When i get home and it is still relevant for this build i post them.
