Sometimes you just got to bite the bullet and take the hard route.
I started dry fitting the cockpit together and started to wonder why things looked a little strange, the answer is that the side console is missing from the Gotha G.V and it has a completely different dashboard and instrument panel!
The throttle controls and compass are now in the bay on the left side along with the airspeed indicator and all of the dials and switches are now directly in front of the pilot on a much larger console.
This meant two things, one that I would have to remove the side console and two build a completely scratch built instrument panel.
Now the problem is that this would leave a bloody great big hole in the wood flooring I had already done!
So time to bite the bullet! All the front section removed and the paint and wood decals removed.
Again its preshaded and preweathered.
So with the cockpit how it should be it was time to focus on the rest of the parts!
