The big (72") Vulcan is coming along well at the moment, with a bit of a push underway for her to make the June PSSA meet at the Great Orme. This weekend I dabbled a little with the covering, finishing off the fuselage as I had sorted the wings and flying surface already.
So, onto the cockpit then, as I never managed to get hold of an original from the supplier unfortunately. Out with the pink foam, and using the 1/72nd scale model as well as the plan, I knocked one up. Here it is on the Vulcan, freshly stuck down :
I peeled the Oracover away under the foam to expose the balsa first of course. Next stage is to glass this with light cloth and WBPU :
Getting there! It looks messy at this stage, but the cloth will be cut back shortly. I have filled the weave with a WBPU / talcum powder mix to thicken it all up. This should be set tonight ready for a light sand and final coat. Then its on with the P38 body filler and she will be ready for priming.
