Keep going Scott! Keep going!!!

Baz

Thanks Baz! I'm very much inspired by the fantastic work you did on your cockpit

It's doing the Lords of Kobol's work no question. No where on the 13th colony has this level been done!

Thanks CessnaDriver! I'm keeping the original theme, but I'm adding a few minor enhancements in an attempt to modernize.

I assume you're planning to paint her fleet gray? I have to say it's stunning without paint all that raw metal hypnotizing goodness. Reminds me of fresh P-51s on the assembly line. Get lots of pictures before painting to document that glory!

Yes indeed, you completely get it Gleaming unpainted warbirds are a sight to behold!
That's the plan - give her a nice coat of gray when complete, but only after plenty of 'raw' pictures have been taken. I'm limited in the shots I can get at the moment, but some outside photos in full sunlight are a must before paint. More of this:

I see a C4 Vette there too. And I wanna say some kind of AMC product but might be wrong.

Well spotted! Yes - another project for another time, a Hunter Green 1972 AMC Javelin. Very rare in the US and even rarer down under.

Great update ...and I don't know where to focus my attention: either the Viper, or the Dodge or the Vette or the Javelin Help me mate

Canopy Continuation

G’day Folks, just a quick update on some recent work on the canopy. I had started it quite sometime ago and had set it aside to concentrate on other areas of the build. With a couple of days …

binarysunset,

Really great work. Love to see those Clecos being used in your fabrication process.

Take pride in the fact that many kids are going to have fond memories after climbing into that cockpit. Maybe the making of some future jet pilots.

Still amazing!
