1/32 Trumpeter P-40B..Framed
The next major construction stage is to work on the cockpit.
This begins with framing in the pit. Bulheads and frames. After putting in the bulkheads each stringer was cut to fit. I used .020 by .040 strip for the bulkhead. I used .020 square strip for the stringers.
And how it looks all together. Taped of course.
Now there are a couple of major flaws in the pictures. One I have fixed the other I will live with.
Moving right along and actually kind of quick with this part so far.
All comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged.

1/32 Trumpeter P-40B..Cockpit Port Side
How about a long overdue, a month since the last one, update????
When last we saw our hero the framing for the cockpit had been readied and installed. We had prepared to begin to start detailing.
This update is all about the seat frame and the port side.
Working off of several pictures work began with the electrical panels and the throttle control. Using strip, rod, tube, and scrap plastic the panels were fashioned. After they were ready some little odds and ends on the port side were fashioned to match the pictures.
The port side.
I also worked on the seat framing. This is not 100% accurate but needed to have a bit more strength than what I could see for a plastic frame. I canibalized a seat from the parts box and have it in place temp.
And finally just a glimpse of what this looks like, minus the port detail, with the fuselage together.
That is about all the detail seen in my pictures for the Port side. Next up will be to work on the Starboard side.

Looking good Joe. As I said before you are getting better and better at this style of modeling. Fantastic stuff. Just as a side thought, if you're thinking of your next challenge might I suggest a WWI a/c that should be right up your alley? My friend Bo has a Fokker D.III he is producing through shapeways that is all cutaway. http://www.shapeways.com/product/PZFLLT7NK/fokker-d-iii-fuselage-early-1-32?li=shareProduct

1/32 Trumpeter P-40B..Cockpit Starboard Side
On to the Starboard side of the cockpit. A little of detail but to be honest I missed a couple of things that I will have in the next update.
Radio boxes, a light, and the canopy handle dominate this side.
Now let me back up a bit, playing with different camera settings. Here are a couple of shots of the Port side using a different background and different settings.
Next up will be the top of the wing/floor of the cockpit.

Looks good, like how you got the toggle switches.

1/32 Trumpeter P-40B..Cockpit Almost Ready
Many many thanks. They are .010 round styrene.
My friends most of the cockpit is now ready for paint.
There are a few things that I have not worked yet but they can be done at paint.
I added a box on the starboard side, reworked the frame a bit, reworked the instrument panel to add some detail that was lacking, and added just a couple of things to the floor/top of the wing.
This section is now far enough that I can move on.
Next up will be the firewall and the engine compartment moving into the engine.
Many thanks all for sticking around this long.
