Just look at all those shades of...er...cockpit..er...green colours!

Looks like they go from brown to neon green.

I'll be following this thread closely as I have the same kit and could always use some tips.

 

[Airframes]

Good stuff Glenn. The shades do look a bit different, but allowing for the variations in lighting and exposure, I think they are mainly the same colour, or very close to each other.

Found this P-40 cockpit tour on youtube and thought you might find it useful. It's a P-40N which has a different panel than the P-40M, but most of the rest of the cockpit is the same.

Thanks for that video Glenn!

 

[Wayne Little]

While I am deciding on that cockpit colour...have moved down the back end to keep things happening...rudder and stabilizers amost complete....

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Looks like you achieved more than I did today Wayne. As usual a nice clean finish.

 

[Airframes]

A 'clean machine'! I like the detail of the rudder king post and linkages - nice!

 

[Night Fighter Nut]

That is some very nice detail molded in there.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]
