    Alright, finally broke ground fellas.... Felt good gettin back into my new and improved/re-vamped modeling shop...

    Started up on the pit... The version of Gabreski's crate has a ribbed floor, the kit didnt, so I fabricated them...

    The back of the gauges are semi-visible, so I drilled em out and added some wires into each... Also added the 2 control linkages from the throttle quadrant....

    The oxygen regulator was real simple, so I added all sorts of wires and pipes, a couple more dials and fabricated the hose...

    I went ahead and got the Humbrol 75 Bronze Green and it went on like a champ... Color looks great, lighting sucks in the pics but there is one shot of the floor panel that has some decent lighting...

    ...and off to a great start already. Beautiful work, the back of the gauges is a really nice touch.
