I couldn't resist throwing everything into the hole to see what it looks like.

The pnuematic hoses are soft solder with very fine fuse wire wrapped around it, then CA'd in place. Quite convincing IMHO.

It's a good thing that I had the seat done before my ISU Cyclones lost in the first round of the NCAA: Depressing. But, like a true fan, I drink to celebrate or to forget. Seat made of Basswood with bits of solder and medical tape for the seat belts.

As a counterpoint to DD's great pictures of spring in the desert: Lake Okoboji still frozen solid today.

Completed Instrument panel. Warning lights are Styreen rod with Tamyia clear colors. The toggle switches are Styrene tube with fine solder as the bats. Now on to the side consoles and ejection seat.

After some springtime chores, I got back to the cockpit detailing. The instruments have been reduced using Paint (a tedious trial and error process) and teh bezels were fabricated out of styrene.

Couldn't find a picture of a B.E. 12 w/rockets, but this will get the point across. Wonder how they lit them off?

Test fit on the plane. Not bad if I say so myself. Note to self: CA doesn't stick well to the Coke bottle plastic, use 5-56 canopy glue.

Not as deep as John O's workbench. After about four tries at trying to get the bent lams into the correct place, (upper right of picture), I had a"Duh" moment and realised that it would be better to set the bows on the canopy base plate, then sand them to fit the canaopy. That worked much better. I filled in the aft canopy fairing with Duram's water putty as I will need to drill some holes in it for some sort of fittings that are evident on the pictures of that area.
