Crew Compartment: Part 3
Have you ever heard of the term "Mission Creep". I've heard it used both in the Military as well as business worlds, the basic concept is that as a project progresses, it grows in complexity. I am suffering from that, in a bad way.
This is the almost finished crew compartment, with the new styrene bulkhead and some of the plumbing. Hard to see on the right side is the sub-compartment for the fire suppression system. The various little squares are going to be placement for the fuel tank control valves, battery switch, and oil filler access. You can also see the driveshaft cover too.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find a single photo that shows the entire bulkhead, only sections of it. So while all the parts on it at this point are correct, I was unable to get a consistant size reference so locations and sizes are not going to be as accurate as I would like. I still need to add various stowage boxes, many of which are only given in the vehicle equipment listing, so I have to guess on their exact locations in the compartment.
As mentioned in the discussion pages, the engine brace provided by Verlinden is not correct. They give an M3 Medium tank style brace, while the later M4 brace is what is shown in all the technical manuals. This was sourced from Tank Workshop, as well as the fire extinguishers, as part of their radial engine set. The TWS parts are not just more accurate, but also better made and detailed. They were all also perfect fits with no modification.
Oh, and I also haven't gotten around to replacing the melon sized knobs on the shift lever and parking brake yet. I may actually leave them, as I just have so much plumbing/wiring left to do. |
