Jet Legend Cockpit in Yellow F-15
It took me about an hour to rig but I like it. I had to change the angle of the main instrument panel to near 90 deg. to fit nicely in the glareshield but it worled out well, I was suprised at how well the existing glareshield in the ARF fit the JL MIP! Thanks KC!
One concern is this. In order to get the MIP to fit correctly in the glare I had to push the cockpit tub forward about 1". There is a gap behing the seat that I can work with no problem however, I am concerned that the seat and pilot may be a bit far forward. I dont mind it personally but I don't want it to take away from the appearance.
Do you guys think it looks ok?

Hey, Is the ARF glareshield easily removed? I might have to give the JL one a try, See if it makes up the difference in space.

a little motivation for you Pete, i finely put the wing stores on mine and flew her today, had a bit more drag but the Titan SE still had plenty of push last flight of the day with her the nose wheel didn't wanna come out, it just did rub through the primmer into the gel coat, no damage at all.
