Brief Description: Cockpit side console; interior paint test
I spent some more time filing and carefully fitting my custom side console. I think I have it to the point where I'm happy with the way it fits. I've been trying to get a minimal gap between the console and the side skin, and also between the console and the channel cap. The issue has been that the side skin is concave, and the face of the channel cap is slightly convex. Straight lines do not work here. I've had to file/test-fit/file/test-fit etc.
The second fuselage task involved painting the five components of my throttle quadrant assembly with a certain gray color. Next, I'll paint a sample piece with the lighter gray paint I've picked out for the rest of the cockpit. I'm hoping the the contrast will be subtle, but noticable and attractive. Some people say gray is boring, but I think it gives a cockpit a military look, which I like. I'll post photos later, when I finalize the colors.
