Sorry for the absence of posts lately. I have been busy with my other job. I have made some progress however.
Taurus your texture work is beautiful. Is it possible to add the cowl flap pull shown in your last post? It is missing above the our recognition switchbox.
Do you know what the red pull knob is for(looks like a choke knob) that is floating in the upper right of the original pit? I've seen some cockpit photos that don't seem to have it.
You also asked about the yellow objects on either side of the pit. I don't know, they look like hand-holds I guess. :? They would probably be easy to remove if need be.
Right now,
I have the recog. Lite switch individually meshed now and will move it to right.
My plans for radio installation on the right are still evolving. The three boxes that are currently meant to represent the radio on the original D10 are attenuators/volume controls etc. -poorly textured but are correctly placed. I'm sure Taurus could improve them greatly.
The most glaring omission in the current pit is the radio receiver/control box. Most IL2 a/c are lacking in radio instrumentation, so there are not many potential donors for parts. Planes that do have radios commonly have the older style control box with the red buttons to switch channels. The P63 does have a very nice and more modern type radio control box, but I think the older style is more correct for our project. Tonight I will pick out the best one I can find and put 'er in our pit.
There are a few other bits of radio instrumentation that would be nice to have but I will worry about those later if this goes smoothly.
The New O2 regulator is in place and looks OK but ideally I would like to install some additional plumbing in front to make it more correct.
By the end of the week I think I should have everything sorted in a sceenshot-worthy form.
Poncho
