Default ESM T-28

Ok guys,
I figured I would start a thread on the ESM T-28. Someone can show there build thread here if thery want.

I want to show what i have done for the cockpit area. The whole top area of the cockpit is made of one large ABS or PETG piece. What they did for this area looks really nice. But the seat area is not deep enough to sit a pilot. This plane is right at 1/6th scale. If you tried to use a 1/6th scale pilot the way it is made you would have to cut the pilot above the waist.

What I have done is to make an insert to allow a full body pilot to be placed into the cokpit area. Due to a bulkhead you would have to remove the feet but you don't see them anyway. I made 2 resin side panels to add detail the the cockpit area. I planned on using the existing instrument panel due to if you try to recess a new instrument panel you would run into the fiberglass body itsself. The good thing about this plane is that the front and rear cockpit are almost identical. I am still working on the joystick...
