| 説明 | First I put on a basic dark gull gray and slightly-lightened-black paint job, black for the instrument panel in front and the control panels on the sides.I painted the sides of the ejection seat black, with gray for the metal pan and seat bottom. A lot of military airplane 'seats' are really buckets into which the pilot's parachute pack and/or rescue dinghy or other useful stuff goes, and serves as "padding". The parachute, etc, are strapped securely to the pilot, then the pilot and equipment are strapped into the seat. The padding value of a compressed dinghy or parachute is somewhere between slim and non-existant, I've read.Then I dry-brushed white to find and highlight the knobs and instrument bezels supplied as part of the kit parts, and edges of the little lumps and bumps of styrene I'd glued on. Consulting reference photos, I then dry-brushed color over the white- red, yellow and green, and painted-in an emergency oxygen bottle, green, on the ejection seat. My observation is that cockpits have red on important stuff, less often green on things that might be re-assuring, and occasionally yellow for handles and other stuff that needs to be found in poor lighting.. (WWII RAF have red, blue and yellow for engine oil temp, pressure and water tem guagesp, and also for radio knobsThere will be almost always be red safety covers over some switches- the master "arm" switch for weapons, jetison switch for stuff hung under the airplane, etc. You can find the covers in any photo of the cockpit, b&w or color. Red is also popular for fuel tank selectors, and the wheel-shaped knob that lowers and raises the undercarriage.Handles to crank the canopy open or switches for hydraulic or pneumatic power versions will be yellow or yellow with black stripes. Ejection seat face-curtain rings at the top of the seat, squeeze handles on the arm-rests or pull-up loops between the pilot's legs are usually yellow with black stripes. Oxygen bottles after about 1950 will be bright, apple-green, as will the "safe range" markings on dials and so forth. Instruments tend to have black faces, with white or greenish-white luminescent hands and numbers. Artificial Horizons, post 1950, tend to have a half blue or light-gray 'sky' over a light brown or dark gray 'earth'Warning placards tend to be black and white with red to draw attention- the highest contrast helping readability, the red to draw attention.Knobs (that are twisted, like radio volume and station select) tend to be dark gray which shows easily against the near-black of the control pannels. Light gray or near-black for contrast if the panel is dark gray.Straight toggle switches usually have bare metal, often steel, sometimes nickel or other plating, for the handle and for the mounting hardwarePush button switches come in your choice of colors. Circuit breakers tend to be black with white markings...Cheers!IMG_5566 |
