Hi everyone, while waiting for a part to come in for Hulk Jr. mainframe, decided to make the third crew member's cockpit. He sits facing the rear of the Sky Crane allowing him to operate the wench if equip for heavy loads. If set up for fire fighting, controls the drop of water/fire retardants on the flames. I'll talk more on this later in this series :peaceful:. I made the top/bottom sections out of plywood that was cut and sanded to shape. Glued in place and cut a 1/4 of a sponge ball (blue) to fit underneath. Before spray painting this fuselage area, will first mask off the rear cockpit. Afterwards I will make a jump seat with a small control panel and a joy stick. Finally cover the area using a curve flexible plastic sheet afix with tiny nails to the plywood. Hopefully can find crew members small enough to fit. Best regards, Jim
