For my first attempt at uploading photos I um, I don't know what I am doing... LOL
Anyway we have a bunch of cocpit tub shots, DerJet cockpit and BVM pilot figure.
Then we have ashot of the front tub cutaway to clear the gear steering servo in the factory supplied nose gear. I still have to add a bit to the shroud to hide the fuselage interior.
Then a pic showing the cutaway aft tub, the fuel lines coming out of the UAT are in this area, they just barely touch the back of the seat molding.
Then there are pics of the equipment installation.
Then a pic showing the balsa strips below the fuselage side rails.
Then a tub showing the stick on foam strip (door strips) either side of the tubs. These compress to allow the tub railings to be popped into the space between the fuselage cockpit railings and the balsa strips. And then the foam centers the tub in the fuselage.
So there are a few shots showing how I instal the front tub and slide it forward until it hits the plywood either side of the nose gear air cylinder. Then I pop in the aft tub and slide it forward, it overlaps the front tub.
Then a shot of the canopy rear section showing the 1/64 ply hing the gap behind the aft tub.
Then a few shots with the canopy on.
BTW I had a hard time with the DET cord, I am not sure what the best way to stick it on is but suffice to say the canopy has complex curves and the decal does not... I may try to redo it as I ended up with it curving a bit across the centerline and it kind of grabs your attention (in a bad way) like that.
Remember, this is not intended to look really scalelike but rather improve the appearance of my sport jet with a small amount of effort. There are others here in the forum that have MUCH nicer instals, but mine does work!
