Yes I do, I'm back on for about 20 minutes. Have to get a list of things for my birthday together......

I'm going to miss being young.

RGR.

So if you have the ruller whay you didn't use it when you was cutting these plastic plates for the exchaust pipes mounts?

 

[B-17engineer]

I kept missing and cutting the ruller, I thought it'd be better without it. I am getting a metal ruler next time I go out to buy supplies.

 

[Wurger]

Oh ...I see now.

In addition here you are a pic of my cartonboard P-51B Mustang III cockpit panel. I have used the second way of making a pilot's panel but instead of painting the transparent foil I used a plastic mask with drilled holes at places where indicators were. For making the mask I used a plastic plate from an old floppy diskette.

What do you think?

 

[B-17engineer]

Looks great!! Nice job!!

 

[Wurger]

Thank you Harrison.

The cockpit was incorrect totally. So I made a new pilot's seat with armour plate and its mount and the seat amortization, the seat belts, the pilot's stick and rudder pedals, the hose pipe for pilot oxygen mask. Also i corrected the left and right side panels.And added correct stringers and formers at the cockpit area.

 

[B-17engineer]

Very nice job Wojtek! Amazes me!

How long did that take you?

 

[Wurger]

A week as memory serves.

Some inspiration for you Harrison. Wheel set for the P-51 cardboard model I have scratchbuilt.These wheels that are offered with the model can't be acceptable.

 

[109ROAMING]

Wow Wojtek!

Second Keith , can we have some photos of the whole thing? like the whole plane , everything in photo

 

[Wurger]

I see now.But it is Harrison's thread if he agrees...... I can l uplaoad a few pics. The P-51 hasn't been finished yet.

Ok. I have uploaded a pic set of the Mustang III in What's on The Workbench thread. Enjoy....

 

[B-17engineer]

Okay, cool! I wouldn't have minded

 

[B-17engineer]

More progress tomorrow. I will have the pledge future shine or whatever it is called and will finish up with the cockpit!
