Status: offline 		well tomorrow ill have more done then my daughter comes home on Army leave and we are going to detroit to watch 6 tiger games. so no modeling for a week. I havent seen my girl in 6 months. here is the panel with all indicator lights installed and wired up. yes they work. THere is one flaw in the cockpit design the instrument panel didnt directly connect to the bombadier station there was another bulkhead thats where the wires and batts for these lights will go. anyone want to donate a cam that i can focus LOL

Status: offline 		cobi for those who dont know sent me 300 b-17 pics very detailed ones. most of the cockpit is scratch built. the panel instruments anf throttles and placards came from luke zollner. He was going to make a full interior. pm him and see if he would make a set oh he also did resin yokes too. the seats are all scratched. the seat belts came from a co. called good stuff to go (all one word) its from a parachute for a figure.
cobi your help made a lot possible

Status: offline 		got the yokes in and will have pics tonight. looking great. the generator lights work and the hole for the wires is scale as a lot of the lighting wire went thru there. i need to clean up the upper inside edge as i have too much balsa there but everything going to plan.

Status: offline 		well thank got mini mag bulbs are cheap. i will wire all lighting together so one flip of the rx will give me exterior and another interior lights. running the bulbs at less than full intensity as that is too bright for scale effect will make them last longer.
