MVP F86F Sabre Sim Pit - Build Blog

[[MVP] Mugga]

The team has rebuilt the right hand cockpit avionics console, to accommodate the GBR Test Plug, ADF, UHF and IFF control unit in the same configuration as the DCS World F86F Sabre.

 

The team started the clean-up of the ADF Control Unit today, including refurbishing the mounting rails, control knobs, and overhead lighting post mounts.

The left and right hand side cockpit consoles have received their CAC interior colour coats today. Many thanks to the team at BCS Paints for the supply of the custom colour spray-cans - these are brilliant! The panels will receive another coat of colour, before being painted with two coats of hard-wearing 2-pack matte-clear.

 

As we begin to draw closer to having all of the cockpit panels and consoles restored and ready for re-installation, our focus will begin to shift across to cleaning up the cockpit itself.  The following photos give you an idea of what lay in front of us.

I will mention it to the team, but not seeing any issue with my attachments, no idea why it is happening here 

edit: the links above are not hosted on our forum they are external links, check the source to be sure. 

thanks

When I click the links I get "URL signature expired" ... looks like Facebook image hash links expire after some random amount of time (days to weeks).

@Spitty they're standard issue equipment for black-handers!

Managed to make up a cockpit left hand sidewall upper panel.  This panel houses the Gun Selection controls.

 

More work today fabricating the replacement inspection panels for the cockpit fuselage externals.
