| Okay so this is to the left of the pilot.... it appears to be the throttle. I painted the panel it was on black, and then the control area Brown and the tip of the stick red. You can barely see it but you get the jist of it.I have a question, the don't give a decal to put over the panel...... so that means I have to paint all the tiny gauges white? |

| If you want yes, or you can dry brush the dials with silver paint and bring out the detail.

| Dry brush as in? And thanks! Edit: Today probably no work will get done.... 9:00 a.m = Church 2-6 p.m. = Soccer tournament, my foots better  6-9 p.m. =finishing my homework that I forgot to do yesterday....I designate 3 hours for dinner etc. But now seeing what I'm doing today I may have some time to paint the sides of the cockpit interior green. I'll keep you guys posted. Last edited by B-17engineer; 09-13-2009 at 06:06 AM. |

| Good job so far Harrison.  But I would like to point out that a coat of any paint has to cover whole surface.If a backgroung colour can be seen at some areas it means that that a paint wasn't applied correctly.As a result the part has to be painted again in order to get self colour.

| No Harrison , don't do it . You did as you did. A such correction might cause nothing but trubles. So let it be as it is.

| Okay, and I looked at the cockpit interiors and it doesn't have a panel, it's just the controls but those are black |

| Here you are a few pics of early P-40 cockpit. There are pics of full size in the Zip file I have found.

| Okay thanks! So, I did get it right that the crank handle box thing is black and the handle itself is like metal. Do you think black is/was okay? |
