Default RE: 1/6 Scale F4U Corsair Group Build

Nice job Chad! It's looking great. Any thoughts on lightening holes?

Here's an update on the cockpit.

I had already assembled a cockpit for the Brian Taylor Corsair I was making so I attempted to place it into the cockpit tub for this build. At first I thought F6 was too close to F7 but after a good nights sleep and approaching it from a new perspective I verified the spacing is fine.

I started out with a new 1/6 cockpit kit and carefully measured and cut out the major parts. Then I tacked them together and placed them into the tub and took these pictures.

Next I will look at the floor to make sure there is room for the pilot's legs, etc. Some surgery will need to be made on F6 to allow for more room down there but Chad says that should not be an issue.
