Barry's T6 from South Korea >>Finished<<

[Barry]

Very nice over all. I've had the 'New" instrument panels laying around for decades...about time to use them.

That is a lovely kit Barry and a nice subject choice. You should have no problems.

Computer router went T/U a couple of days ago...hoping for new one to arrive today. I'll just press on...pics as soon as I'm able.

[Barry]

Thought about cutting away the 'background' to add depth, but decided that it would be a lot of work and probably not worth the effort.





Started off with something resembling ANA 611 Interior Green.

That looks a nice amount of cockpit detail in the box.

[Barry]

Yes it is David...I think there is a resin cockpit (maybe Pavla) for a T-6, but it would be better applied to the old Heller kit. This one, out of the box, is more than good enough for me.

[Barry]

This is a really nice kit. Things pretty much touch where they're 'sposed to and don't where they're not. So, the cockput turned out like this:





The biggest issue on the airframe is this tricky section :





The fix:






These raised recognition lights will be drilled out and replaced with clear sprue.








And poof!, we have an airplane.

Thats looking very well.

[Barry]

Thanks Fred..

[DavidWomby]

Great progress. Looking really good.

[Marek]

Barry, this one looks outstanding!

[Molly-new]

Nice work Barry, and a nicely detailed kit. I have the Airfix version which has two seats for the cockpit!

[despondman]

Nice work. Nice kit this, neat looking cockpit straight out of the box. Good idea on the recognition lights, wish I had done that.

[Barry]

Thanks guys...wait'll you see the next update: wheel openings

Molly-new: do you mean two different types of seats?

[Molly-new]

Nope, just two seats with pins attached to the fuselage to sit them on. Oh, and a triangular block to go in between them.

Edited to add picture



Now that's a basic cockpit.
