Coffee time in the mine. Innards look fab Andy. Regarding the guitar string/oxygen hose. Would you say that size of string would be good enough for many different aircraft hoses and if so, what size string did you use?

Thanks very much guys.

Geo, I've had this piece of what I believe to be guitar string in my junk box for decades. I honestly don't know where I got it as I don't play myself but I can tell you the diameter calipers to exactly 0.1mm. For my purposes, I use this for all my 1/48 hoses, despite what are probably minor variations in diameter between aircraft and air forces.

Finishing touches on the pit. Wiring added to the rear of the instruments as these are visible through the windscreen and PE parts added to the K-14 sight. I'm not sure of the presence of the crosshairs but I kinda like them.

 

[meatloaf109]

Kind of a back-up in case the electric gunsight failed!

 

[prem895]

AWESOME

Great stuff Andy - but did I notice the bulb has dropped out of the lamp holder for the K-14 .......... it's OK, I've got me coat on already!
