Today I worked a little more on the cockpit. I am building a Late model P-51D (has the dorsal fin in front of the vertical stabilizer), I am creating a battery and SCR-552 VHF Transmitter that will be behind the rear armor plate/headrest. The cockpit shroud is glued in place. The cockpit is not a full model, and is pretty shallow. Overall details will be sparse.
I also epoxied with fiberglass the cockpit interior, which will be painted later.
I also worked on the exhaust. I think I will cut into the fuselage to create the shrouded exhaust stacks coming out of the fuse. I wanted to use
Pacific Scaled Aircraft manifold and fresh air intake kits, but they were just too large for this scale fuselage. I may cut and form my own shrouded exhaust out of pieces of hardwood and brass tubing.
