Getting the 3D cockpit together. I notice that the AOI Pilot coming in at 1/8 is a tad smaller than the stock pilot. To be honest I think the stock pilot is scaled closer to the plane's scale. So if AOI had a 1/7.6 scale pilot it would probably be about perfect. Oh well, at least he looks good, haha. I used the stock seat base to prop him up a bit. This 3D cockpit definitely requires trimming the pieces and the foam cockpit itself in order to seat everything properly. Finally as was discussed earlier in the thread, the side rails stick up too high so you need to create some kind of base that sits up and flat so it looks decent when the canopy is back in place. Here's some initial shots...

Aros, Simple thing to design a filler section for port/starboard. If you could send measurements, I could put something together. I know I will use foam, balsa, and/or 3DP something when I build mine. It would be good to have something out there to add to the 3DP stl files already available. If someone doesn't volunteer before I get to this A/C let me know. Best, LB
Here's my cockpit as it stands...Between your offer and color issues I may open her up yet again...

Something else I learned back in the Top Gun days(I was camera #2 for Propwash Video) is take some say 320 wetordry(black)sandpaper and cut it to size and stick it down in the same area with something like 3M spray adhesive. It resembles the roughened walking surface. Not sure of the grit for this scale but check it out. By the way I just discovered the answer to one of my previous questions. Through trial and error, I have discovered that paint thinner will remove Tamiya type rattle can paint without attacking the stock water based (apparently)Corsair paint for removing overspray. Takes a little more elbow grease but doesn't wreck the stock paint!:Cool:
