Hello All,
The thread seems a little quiet of late. I have been a bit busy with work but the contract has ended and I can return to building. I asked my son Michael if he would mind painting Ed's cockpit tub for me and gave him the tub, the seat moulding and the canopy for a little paint. What I received back astounded me
He has "carpeted" the whole thing in black fabric. He upholstered the plastic seat moulding complete with white "piping". He printed out some suitable instrumentation from the net and applied to the dash. He added a "crash pad" surround to the dash. He built a pilot, helmet, goggles and mask from scratch using stuff he found around the house. It is an amazing job. I will include some pics.
thanks Michael.
I am hoping to have this model ready for test in a couple of weeks.
