To fit the pilots I had to cut the boots of the front pilot and just the tip of second pilots boots and enlarged the whole a little at the foot wells.Tolga

I can send you photos of where I cut the pilots and the foot well.
I also modified the arm of the front pilot. I cut the left arm at the elbow at 45 degree angle then cut a wedge from the lower arm , twisted and glued back so the hand is parallel to the ground as if operating the throttle.Tolga

Tolga Thanks, I'll contact Sean, Your pictures here give me what I need to modify the Pilots once I get them. My problem now is getting the account set up, not getting the confirm Email they say they sent, I'll work it out and get them ordered ASAP. Thanks for all your help and the shared detail work! Tom

After a break to get my kid off to college, and also because it was too damned hot, I finally got back to my Cal Fire Bronco.
Graphics by Callie, and some waterslides I made myself.
​​​
Civilian pilot and observer are a mash up of a figure from Thingiverse and another couple from CGTrader. Insignia and patches are waterslide decals printed on a laser printer and cut to size by a cricut vinyl cutter.
Horizontal stab with graphics from Callie and sealed with gloss polyurethane
The wing is ready for for Callie
​​​​​​.
And finally the fuselage is getting its stripes. I'm doing one at a time to keep the masking simple. Second stripe and black pin stripes tomorrow.
Next up will be the booms
I'm looking forward to when the canopy is back in stock so I can finish her up.

Finally got around to installing an A3 gyro in my Bronco to take care of tail wagging. I am not a gyro person and have very rarely used them, but on this plane it worked great, have it dialed in at about 25%. Another unexpected benefit of the gyro is that the rolls are much cleaner, I guess that makes sense. The A3 along with the 10x8 two blade APC props and really helped to make the Bronco fly like I wanted.Ron - AMA 1025
