Tom, I completely understand. When I started the Cessna that was my plan with it. Just wanted it painted Instead of Monykote like my other one. But then one thing lead to another. Decided I wanted to go to the Scale Masters qualifier just to see what it was like because I planned on campaigning the 190 and didn't want to be embaressed with my entry, well the rest is history. A year and three months later I'm still finding stuff to do to it. So good plan on you're part. My kit was one that somebody had already started and the wing had been cut for the gear in the wrong place so had to wire cut my own foam wing. A lot of the wood was missing and there was no cockpit kit in the boxes I got in, didn't even know that there was a kit for it, so will have to make my own from scratch. Been there before on my Spit. I will see if My freind Mark can post the pic of that one I made for that as he has the pic scanned into his computer. If you can send me the photos of the full size cockpit that you have that would be great. Thanks Randy
