That's what I wanted to recreate Eric. More shadow and depth than dirt

Bit of an update. The resin Jaguar cockpit is complete bar finish converting the racing seat. I'm pretty happy with how my first resin cockpit has turned out. The only problem I had was I busted the throttle and mixture levers off and couldn't find them. So I made replacements with some very thin wire and superglue for the Damo's, I mean knobs on the ends, painted accordingly. When I put it all together the fuse halves even close up perfectly. I'm hoping to have the seat finished and at least glued onto the cockpit floor before I head back to TSV Sunday week. Holy shit don't tell me I'm getting out of my comfort zone and starting to scratch build stuff Anyways here's the pics so far

The Wheel well


All the cockpit bits


The IP including A-4 Skyhawk HUD


LHS Fuse


RHS Fuse


The pit floor complete with blue Nitrous bottle


The modded kit seat to resemble a race car seat still a WIP

Great seat! you gonna cover it in Italian leather?

[hrtpaul]

Nah mate. Chinese Gunze leatherette. Italian leather is too heavy and it is a race plane after all. There'll be a 5 point Sabelt harness though

[Graeme H]

Really cool seat, possibly should be a Recaro though.

Think this one would more than match any aviation requirements

Very cool seat Graeme but this is the extent of my modification skills at the moment. I'm lucky to even resemble a racing seat
