The list of things are finally starting to wind down before this one is finished. One area that hadn't received much attention so far is the interior. With a full day in front of me, I dove into scratch building the Liberty shifter set-up. Using basically sheet plastic, and various bits of left over PE, I built up the handle and tabs, as well as the transmission top. Once both were painted and installed I worked link by link adding the shifter rods from RB Motion 1501 rod ends and tubing.
From there I was able to install the drivers seat, belts, pedals, and finally the dash. The kit steering wheel was detailed with 'chute release cords and radio cords finished off with Sakatsu buttons. I turned a new air bottle and fire bottle, and they were also detailed and installed. With the fire bottle in place I was able to connect it to the drivers release pull lever and finished it off with a "Safecraft" tag. Still more work to do in here, but it's getting closer!
And finally, a quick mock up with body setting on.....
Thanks as always for looking, should be able to finish it up soon!
