Here's the video Link

[Hugh Wiedman]

Finished adding crew members in front and top turret and hooking up servos in each; front to the rudder channel and top to the ailerons as I only have a 6 channel transmitter. I got the 3D parts, which are very detailed, but couldn't get my crew members to fit in properly. Figures in the front turret and especially the top that somewhat resembled the size of the pilots were too big when putting the 3D turret parts in, so for now I used the base materials and figures I found at Toys R Us, with a little repainting (the top figure is actually a star wars storm trooper with some things removed and repainted). Flying it again tomorrow, so this will have to do for now until I start working on my extra nose and cockpit with the 3D parts and different figures. The only bomber crews I could find online were either 1/32 scale (way too small, they looked like midgets compared to the pilots) or 1/18 scale which were too big to fit in the turrets. The pilots head alone for size won't even fit in the top turret. Loved Clearblue's pilots, only wish I could find them for my second cockpit version with the 3D parts (or talk him into building out a cockpit for me, hah), so for now using figures similar to the ones I put in the front turret. Added the sound card as well and you can see the video with the sound and operating turrets on the link I've attached in the next post. Happy Flying, hope the wind is light tomorrow, hate landing this thing in a cross wind.

I got my spare props, but noticed Motion is once again out of props. We must be feeding them to the bears!

I enjoy the challenge of painting small details. Here's how my cockpit turned out. Plus a few additions.

Your cockpit looks spectacular. Where did you find those pilot figures.

[Clearblue]

Thanks guys! The 3d printed parts really do add a bunch of detail that otherwise, just isn't there.

Jim.

Wow! Heck yeah it does!

[ruffneckx1]

That cockpit looks sweet.

Here is one in color. R

Here is what the actual Cockpit looked like...

[Prowler901]

Wow! Those really are fantastic prints. Painting them is fun. :)

[NoDirt!]

Ahhh, a little contrast makes a big difference.
Much more detail than on the site photo.
Maybe they should do the same?

Now, how the heck am I gonna paint these things :Confused:

[NoDirt!]

It is for the nose of the D version. R.

:Cool:

[RRHandy]

The guns are OK. I am wondering about that lone pivot mount though. I know it was asked about previously but I still don't know where it would go. Maybe there should be two for the waist guns? Or is it for the nose?

The closer I look at the 3D detail parts the less detail I see on the dashboard. It looks like there's no gauges etc. :(

The 3D parts are very detailed !! I got mine yesterday and was very impressed,

[Hardway]

:Confused:Only got one pivot here as well....D nose is possible.

[NoDirt!]

Prowler was right, not enough contrast in the site photo. My detail parts arrived and the dash looks good as well as the throttle quadrant and bomb sights. The guns are OK. I am wondering about that lone pivot mount though. I know it was asked about previously but I still don't know where it would go. Maybe there should be two for the waist guns? Or is it for the nose?

If I can get a couple good pics I'll try to post them.

Those 3-D parts look pretty good. Except for the machine guns. They look like something made out of Legos.

[handyman220]

And both of ya have "handy" in your user name. HUH....... LOL

LOL LOL Too many projects already started, need to finish some before starting another. :Silly: That's my story! ;)
