LOL! That's not good... Need to get his helmet visor mounted quick then!!

Huuum... I need to investigate what helmet scheme the RCAF pilots use in this bird. Hopefully just grey. Really don't want to have to pull out the airbrush again, LOL.

Got the inside of the canopy frame painted in flat black. Canopy glass is held tight with rare earth magnets from Lee Valley Tools while the RC56 canopy glue dries!!

I can dig up the originals if you want & do a tight crop on the head & helmet.

**tbrum** · 05-22-2016, 04:42 PM

Ha! I don't get nervous over maidens much but this one will make my knees shake

Thanks Larry... please. A crop of this helmut would be awesome!!

Thanks guys!!

Here you go Trevor ...

LOL. Thanks Bill.

Cockpit, pilot, dash, HUD and side panels are done and installed. Super happy with the outcome after a little repaint to freshen it up.

Still need to add some detail behind the seat and also want to make up the canopy rails (with all the lightning holes), but it is a start

Oh... and paint the helmet!!
