Some great work there Ole I'd love to work in 1/24 but haven't the room to show them when done

[Guest]

That looks really good mate, very tidy indeed. Good old Steve to the rescue again with the techy stuff eh

Where are you going to put all this large scale stuff you're building eh?

[Guest]

That looks great Ole, lot's of good details in there. I think you'll make an excellent job of this as usual.

Cheers

mobear,

ps errrmmm not too sure of placement yet,looking like the twins are getting decamped lol,it will have pride of place in the corner of living room

[Guest]

If you put it in the corner with an engine you could use it as a fan. Well maybe not at mo eh more like a snow blower.

Keep safe and warm mobear

Well done on the cockpit. These WW2 cockpits are actually quite simple. The principle reason that they look so busy is that they are unbelievably small. I'm 5'9" tall and fairly heavily built (I said heavily built,not fat!) and have sat in a Bf109 cockpit. I barely fitted inside,shoulders touched the sides and my head,with no parachute,just a cushion,touched the the canopy roof. The idea of entering mortal combat in that space is not an attractive one. Trying to look behind was nigh on impossible.

the thing with the cockpit was the fact that even in films there just seemed to be more to it than what was in the box,so make it more authentic i wanted the layout for the switches for the E type and not the G but thnx for the heads up

Hi Steve,

How did you manage to get to sit inside a Bf109 then? Must of been an experience.

Atb, Colin.

Those old Airfix kits have a reputation for being pain's to fit together. But try your hand at an Eastern Express armour kit Ole, then you'll know frustration!

Looking good though mate, it's gonna be great!

Cheers
