Thanks

Does anyone know what this pump in the cockpit of the Stahltaube is and go to?

Thanks Chriss

Thanks, I haven't seen those before. I ended up subscribing the the Air Corps Library. Amazing resource!

Yea, I think so too. I did find some more images of the diagram but I'm wondering how to recreate the cover in 1/24 scale. Tamiya 2 part epoxy is a new item for me.

I'm working on a revised F6F Cockpit Control Stick for my 1/24 Airfix Hellcat kit. There are thousands of images of the control stick from the top but none from the side that show off the full parts. Does anyone have any images of it in more detail. Diagrams, etc.? A canvas covering that usually covers the control box. Would this be something that was usually not present on operational aircraft on a carrier? Regards

Thanks Frank, I just got my kits yesterday. What a kit. I'm just going to build it OOB with a few wire and whatnot.

I used his updates for the Spitfire. Wonderful little gems of art. I couldn't have said it any better. I've yet to get my kits yet. There stuck in customs in New York? All the way from Hong Kong to NY and hopefully to California sometime in the next century. I feel like the USPS. I've somewhat stopped building aircraft or pretty much Tamiya models due to the time I have to spend filling and not being able to open the "bays". I have that F-117 and still have not started it. (eBay anyone?) I wanted to have the bay open but it's just filled with marks. I may sound a bit "lazy" but I feel

I'm just thinking about the future. When subjects likes this roll out of the hangar I tend to start months after a new model hits the market. For some reason I cannot wait on this one... lol I enjoy reading some of the review out today about modeling subjects. Some are spot on, other not so much so. I've just seen one small picture of the bay on this kit. I saw a few marks that were on the leading forward of the bay. I've never had much luck filling in those holes. Very true. Most of the time the aftermarket guys seem to stick to the "popular" genes and forget about the stuff that is

I've ordered a few of the new Tamiya 1/32 P-51D. I've heard that the wheel bays are filled with ejector pin marks. I was wondering if anyone knows if any aftermarket wheel bays will fit the kit. I was thinking about using the 1/32 Aires P-51D Mustang Wheel Bay Set made for the Trumpeter kit. In the Tamiya kit. Possible?

Thanks. Same here. It seams us modelers are always looking outside the box for stuff.

Looks great. May I ask what are you using for the wire?

Salve!, Thanks for all of the comments... I've been back in forth to the dentist dealing with my wisdom teeth being extracted... Not fun! Anyways I've made some progress with my build.... Altitude Switch Quilting thread was used to simulate wire. Voltage Regulator Two wires made from quilting thread have been added to the bottom of the regulator. Tad bit of dry-brushing. Pneumatic Air Bottles Had to mix color for the gray. I didnt have the right color in my stock. Somewhat close to a Light Ghost Gray. Instrument Panel Assembly Ready to be installed... Pilots Seat Sprayed

avete, After seeing so many beautiful Spitfire these past months, I decided to throw my spit into the air. I'll do my best to keep everyone updated via ARC and Flickr. (Left to right) Rear support, Seat support, rear wall of instrument panel and the forward support for the instrument panel. I spayed with PS Interior green, shaded with Tamiya Yellow Green XF-4 and Flat Brown XF-10. No added wash yet. Spayed green, shaded with Tamiya Yellow Green XF-4 and Flat Brown XF-10.
