OOOOH that's nice.

I
One question though. Does anyone know what color the inside of the bubble top canopy frame should be? Chromate green? Aluminum?

An educated guess I would say black, it wouldn't be aluminium maybe interior green?

I've seen them in both green and also black Glenn.

 

[T Bolt]

I think I'll go with interior green then, thanks.

I was up late last night working on Miscellaneous bits, Here's a few pics:
Seat belts made from the lead foil from a wine bottle.
Break lines for the main gear made from copper wire.
The legs mounted.
I also started on the exhaust manifolds, drilling them out and painting the base coat of silver, but no pics yet

Almost there!

 

[Wurger]

Excellent.

 

[Lucky13]

Magnificent!

Glenn that is brilliant

 

[Crimea_River]

Looking good Glenn. I would have made the inside of the canopy the same colour as the cockpit interior - not because I know for sure but because I never quesitoned that it might be different.

 

[Airframes]

Good stuff Glenn !

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Those seat belts look very real Glenn and I like the hydraulic lined, very professional.

 

[Wayne Little]

Agreed, fine work Glenn!

 

[T Bolt]

Thanks guys
Went to 3 of my kids basket ball games yesterday (1 win 2 loss), so not much time put in on the Mustang.
I did finish up the exhaust manifolds, and canopy frame(Interior green inside) and installed the resin wheels.

 

[Nxthanos]

[Crimea_River]

Sure is.

 

[Airframes]

I agree.

 

[Wayne Little]

nice detail Glenn.

[T Bolt]

Thanks!
More detail work:
1 The radio wires got sort of messed up so I straightened them out and put on another coat of paint, then installed the seat.
2 Exhaust stacks installed.
3 Painted the access holes and degree indicator stripes on the flaps and installed them.
