BrockyTaz Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Here is what I have so far. Please bear with me as progress has been on the slow side due to other commitments (Notably family and job). I hope to be able to pick up the pace a little bit and put in a few hours a week of building now that I have a hobby room again. Long story dealing with HIPAA and the wife’s job. As I sated in my signup post in the Participants and Entries thread, I was going to use the Legneds cockpit set but when I tried to use it I encountered several fit issues. The tub fit to low and there were other issues if I chose to use the set so in the end I opted to use various parts from set in conjunction with Edurard’s F-4F interior PE set. I decided to fix Revell’s deep well WSO cockpit issue by cutting the pilot and WSO cockpit tubs apart so I could work on the WSO’s pit. I raised the floor approximately .5 cm by cutting the front and rear bulkheads off the floor/console section and then gluing said section back to the bulkheads half a centimeter higher. I also extended the front part of the tub to give the WSO more foot room Pilot's main IP. Modified Eduard PE. WSO's upper and lower IPs from Cutting Edge: Left and Right Cockpit Sidewalls from the Legend enhancement set. Pilot's Cockpit Tub WSO's Cockpit Tub: Hope to have more soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BrockyTaz Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 Thanks guys, but my talents pale when compared to most of the builders around here. I hope to keep trying though. This is my 2nd bird in 5 years. Like I said it takes me awhile. I was only able to get a few minutes in on this at lunch. Probably won't be able to do much more until the weekend. Anyway I was able to work on the WSO's central console and radar. I am now beginning the tweaking part of fitting the cockpit together. Pilot's Cockpit WSO's Cockpit Just to give you an idea of how hodge podged this cockpit has turned out to be here's a shot of the WSO's pit before painting. There's kit parts, CE parts and even Tamiya Parts in here! I still have the little stuff to do: rudder pedals, control columns, throttles, radar control side stick and O2 hoses. Hopefully this weekend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rickmb Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I have pics of 336th F-4Es from when I was stationed there back in the late 80s if you are interested. I took a whole series of cockpit and airframe pics. The Revell kit really fell down on the cockpit, it is totally off in proportions and accuracy.
