On the top where the gunsight sits.... i have re-painted it Hu79 again as there are so many people with different ideas of what colour it is ment to be. So i have gone with the same colour as the rest of the cockpit.

Hi again. The gloves and gauntlets varied in colour from grey to brown to black,however this lot were a very senior bunch of guys. They had the relatively rare black leather flying suits and I'd be amazed if the gloves didn't match. They were aware of their position. Below is a quote from Steinhoff describing their appearance to a group of elderly and shabbily dressed Volkssturm members drilling with dummy panzerfausts.

"We had to seem members of some highly priveleged class to them and infact we were. We wore new grey leather jackets with velvet collars and silk yellow scarves tied in an elegant knot. Gloves,gun holsters,everything was elegant and quite new"

Not specifically referring to flying gear but it gives an idea of their position.

Cheers

Black gloves it is then. Going to have to try and make then a slightly different shade so they don't blend in with the arms.

I hope my kit comes this week, I will be the last to finish, or even start at this rate lol. Coming on really well, great attention to detail to.
 
Wow that was a nasty gap! How was the fit with the fuselage at the trailing edge?

Don't panic Graham,I haven't started yet either.
