Looks bl**dy good to me! But you have missed the Inspection stamp, under the seat, which was a quarter of an inch square..........

Looks great Andy, love the PE details....

Not sure if ur done with the pit yet, but maybe a wash or some dark pastel work could filth up the tub just the right amount and make it look tits...

**Lucky13** · 03-02-2010 08:08 AM

Bl**dy awesome!

**Crimea_River** · 03-02-2010 08:46 AM

Thanks guys. Yes, Dan, a wash is on the list after I attach details to the sidewalls and finish everythign in the pit.

I found some colour cockpit pictures to get the knob colours right (although these are an F6F-5 not -3 I think) and will add the hydraulic hand pump yoke to the right of the seat.

Not too happy about the dorky looking details behind the seat but I don't think these will be easily seen once the tub is in the fuselage.
