I started this as a limited production type thing, but I'm up for another run I guess. I do have about 5 Hellcat cockpits in stock and about 3 drop tanks. I am in the middle of filling a large order this week, let me get that out of the way and I'll get the Hellcat stuff out to who wants it.

I want to get everyone up to the painting on this project, looks like I have one guy! lol Again, good work Bob!

You will need to drill two small holes in the small trim wheel box on the left panel as shown in the first picture. Using the supplied wire you will make your elevator and rudder trim rods. Glue them in, they extend to the back panel.

Get your elevator trim wheel ready for painting by sticking a pin through the center and attaching it to some scrap balsa.

Now we are ready to paint.

After making a few of these I’ve found that it is much easier if you leave the instrument panel mounting former unpainted for now. We will get the instrument panel ready to mount with the instruments, glue it to the panel and then with a brush paint the remaining panel. You can either paint the entire panel black, or very carefully with a brush paint it Green Zinc Chromate, it’s up to you.
