Thanks Bruce! Appreciate the comments on this build! I'll have to credit Tamiya for much of what you see. Besides the Barracuda stencil decals, I've not added much so that speaks to how much detail that Tamiya has put into this kit.
I've added a few more bits onto the cockpit. Most notably the throttle linkages which I've used four pieces of brass tubing to portray.
Due to the throttle being mounted on the cockpit sidewall, it would be almost impossible to physically tie the linkages to the throttle body so I just want to get them close. They should terminate somewhere underneath the throttle body. To check this, I've attached the throttle using a blob of Blue Tack.
With the cockpit tub in place, we can see that throttle linkages look ok.
I've attached the instrument panel as well as the hydraulic bottles. I made up an oxygen hose by wrapping a wire around thicker lead wire. It's hard to get a good photo of the cockpit since there are so many details sticking out in every direction.
I'm working on the instrument panel hood, which holds the gun sight.
