The really nice thig is out of three built, one is still with us. Kalamazoo Air Park restored it though it belongs to the Smithian, it is on permanent display there in Michigan.
I have a brother who lives in Kalamazoo. With the right incentives he would make a day trip and take any 'special' (legal access) shots that you may want? He is not a modeler but a beer connoisseur, living about 1/2 mile from Bell's.

What would it take for the "Illegal" shots He has to drink the beer after he gets home!
 
getting started on the cockpit now....

Tree E is the cockpit so I shot it in Vallejo black primer!

And then today in Vallejo Zinc Chromate Green

Removed the seat and seat back support

and glued them together

I'll be using the Kits World 3D printed seatbelts

I then got started on the side consoles

Now the instructions call for either the PE or the decal, I plan on using both!
 
Well I just ordered the SAC metal lading gear for this. The nose gear is pretty frail and when trying to clean it up I accidently broke of both forks. I'll post pictures later.
