If you meant the center stick, that was only added to the front cockpit. Note the right MFD was removed to accommodate the ADI & VVI displaced from the center stack by the center stick installation. This is the only pic I have of the rear pit, and I believe this is the VISTA simulator, not the actual VISTA aircraft. . @habu2 I thought I read somewhere that it was only F-16 with a rear stick, but I guess that was wrong. It didn't seem right to me but then again, I am no F-16 expert. Thank you for the pictures. I will assume that the simulator is the same as the real aircraft. If I'm not mistaken I will need to source the correct rear instrument panel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 All Hasegawa 2-seat kits ( B D F I etc ) have rear IPs from an early Block 1/5/10 B model, they never upgraded that part for a Block 15 B or anything later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eraucubsfan Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 This is the rear cockpit included in the kit. It doesn’t look like the one in the picture Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skyhawk524 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 VISTA just recently went through depot maintenance from 2018-2019, and came out with a new paint job. I've had two friends get to fly it, and was up close with it in May 2019, but completely forgot to get any cockpit pictures. I can tell you that the strengthening plates and the mounts for the spin chute are still on the airplane. I have the TwoBobs decals for the original paint scheme. It had some minor differences by 2017 when the first friend flew it, but the TwoBobs decals will still work. I'd like someone to put out a set for the new scheme. She looks pretty sharp.

eraucubsfan Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I posted pics of the new paint scheme a while back. Maybe we need to page @KursadA and try and get him to make them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk524 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I asked TwoBobs last year if they had plans to do it, and was told no. The paint is easy to replicate, but that TPS logo on the tail will not be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am glad to see that my artworks from my demo web page have been used here as reference. Very soon I will start to build the current VISTA version. Normally I post my WIP in Britmodeller but if allowed I can make a copy here too. :-) Serkan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
