The firewall I am going to show the engine and the fuel tank with the access panels removed. This will require extensive scratch-building.
Small parts! I picked these up to help make realistic manifolds etc.
The Cockpit In addition to the photoetch, I also added wiring and cabling.
The Cockpit The scratch-built manifold is visible behind the seat shoulder.
The photoetch gunbays Part of the benefits of the Royal Class kits
The scratch-built seat with the first incarnation of the manifold.
I scratch-built the seat from brass sheet to better represent the thin metal of the real thing.
