| @ RTD89. Your awsome Guillow's P-51 scratch cockpit from Feb./Mar. served as the inspiration, and technique for the instrument panel. Thanks for the build help.
@ David Duckett...Thanks David. I'm still trying to figure this camera out. I only bought it to post pictures here. All photography help is welcome. I should really take some time to figure this thing out. |

| Really nice detail! |

| A suggestion: Digital cameras do NOT require flash. Using flash washes out details making things "milky". |

Instrument panel done. I cut the basic shape from a piece of cardstock and covered both sides with black electrical tape. Then used a spent .223 brass rifle casing as a punch to make holes. Then glued a piece of clear plastic from a clamshell package to the back of it. Then I used a toothpick with white testors model paint (before my morning coffee) to make gauge markings on back of the plastic so it looks like everything is behind shinny glass. Then backed it with another couple strips of electrical tape. Common pins serve as switches on bottom row. |

| I wish my first attempt had turned out like this beauty. |

For Deckape. I found this page in my TIME LIFE, WW II book series / War in the Outposts. You can zoom in on your computer to read the details. |

| Thanks guys. It's been a while since I've done a build. The rust is coming off. LOL! She's still got a ways to go though. Now that I have a camera that doesn't require a flash-pan, and black cape over my head to operate, I'll be able to keep up with the build pics a little better. ;-) |

| Thank you very much guys. I have always wanted to try a scratch built cockpit. I used the cardstock Guillow's cockpit as a template to make a balsa tub & made the seats and instruments from odds and ends around the house. Sorry about the poor quality photo...new camera. |

| My original intent was to just cover the 2 fuselages & center nacelle with heavy silkspan, and dope, hence the scalloped formers. But after seeing the awsome looking results with infill, I decided to give it a try. Thanks Dave. |

| Wow! Glad that your work has surfaced on this site. Very interested in following your progress on the P-38. Terrific job of displaying your build. This is one I've been itching to do. |
