Thanks guys, working the cockpit detail painting.
Getting much better at toothpick painting and colored pencils, well I thinks so anyway.

Well I mixed about a 5 1 Tamiya CHROME YELLOW with zinc chromate. Here's what I got.
I'm not sure but I've see it on real air planes (B-52's in the '80's) The Republic plant used the yellow chromate at the factory but field depots would sometimes use zinc chromate in the field. Inputs?

Looks good to me. It seems logical to me that field ZC could be used over the factory YZC. The colour wouldn't be important but rather the corrosion resistance so I would imagine they'd use whatever was at hand.

Well one cockpit tub put together. I used the IP decal and the seatbelt decal.
Nicely done so far!
Good stuff.

Well I tried a little more. Did some shading and added some lead wiring to the back of IP.
Here we have both cockpit side by side. Razorback on left and bubbletop on right.

I got engines and fuselages and all kinds of things done, and then I went and did it.
I have no idea what came over me but it was a religious experience and I could not stop.
I have no idea what came over me but it was a religious experience and I could not stop. My hobby knife took over and a hacking we did go, no I don't have a gun bay kit but I figure I have 3 more of these so if for some reason I get bogged down and screw it all up, I can pull a wing out of another. Let's just see where we go with this.
