Thanks guys, it's a bit of a struggle with one wing out of commish!
Shakey hands as well, why did I try and do PE???????? But I did!
So the results of My Struggle!!!!!
Did the IP as well, over three days! Not my best.
First photo is the Backside of the resin IP.
And the PE added to the Port side cockpit.

Good effort Mr 1 arm, is that a decal on the inst panel, if so its one of the best fits I've seen yet.

It's a transparency behind PE panel.
I painted the back of the film with white enamel and used the paint as the glue. Then a coat of canopy clear glue for the PE panel letting it squirt out the instrument holes.

Thanks guys............. Bad sleep last night, me f'n shoulder and arm gave me fits.
So it's little things I'm a doin at the moment.
PE gun sight, paint before glass lens.

Cockpit floor, the fuel selector valve for the Aux underwing tanks are a bit raised.
So I did. The white rod I added? shows as some kind of c-pit vent in front of joy stick?

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Nicely done, I'll have to remember this when doing mine.

 

[Donivanp]

Impeccable work Mr. Bill

This cockpit is giving me fits.............. so to speak.
