I'll find the website soon :S hopefully if I get through these 4 other fav folder's it'll be in there.
On the construction front Todays work
:
Yay! It Snowed
April and snow never seen that before
at least it was a light snow, but then it was replaced with freezing rain :S, temp. fell drasticly from +10 to +1 Celsius.
Now on to the model:
Wires attached and instrument panel attached to one portion of the fuselage, the reason I took it off the other portion of the kit was the fit on the fuselage, by itself it aligns perfectly to the fuselage and no filler is needed, without it and aligning it with the other section (Pedals and lower part of the canopy) It would need substantial filler, in the shot you get a better look of the completed instrument panel as well
I'm the most happy with these results vs the other attempts at the panel. Although the white on the instruments isn't clearly displayed in the camera shot but its there in real life. I'll try to catch another angle with my camera later on.
Side shot with the wiring added onto this part of the fuselage. I think it turned out good
Epoxy is a life saver
Last Shot, the pedals and other section that was attached to the instrument panel, I'll probobly chop off the top so I can fit it in nicely into the model. Wires added as per my refrences.
I found a couple detailed pictures of the 109s cockpit from various sites if anyone is in need of them I'll pm them out to you since I'm not sure how the forum regulations are about posting website urls
On another note I could of added a couple more wires (not so important ones and in colors that don't really stand out in the cockpit) but being this a tight fit as is, I'm afraid if I add them, they'll have to be choped off later on in the build because the fuselage won't come together. I'm pretty happy at the results atm and I'll be posting the put together fuselage and wing sections in a couple of days
