Robar setup looks good Capt G.!!
I've been a bit slack with my updates but my P51 project is ticking along...
Here is my pilot and the supplied kit parts... upper and lower canopy, pic of dash, and a seat
I'm doing a 'sport scale' build so quite sparse on scale details. For that reason I chose to paint the inside satin black as it hides a lot of moulding imperfections and also does 'empty space' quite inconspicuously.
I also measured and marked up a couple of holes so I could install my ignition LEDs in the model, where hopefully the light will bounce up inside carbon tube. This would work better with fibreoptics but don't have anything to hand so...
Looks a bit aggressive I know but this is a close up shot. When the canopy is glued down it will just look like red lights on the dash
The pilot is secured to the base with a light plate underneath - glued and screwed!
I then trimmed the upper canopy, and glued it down with PVA style glue. Its strong enough to hold but can be removed by running a sharp knife through the bead.
