I'm building a 1/32 scale Bearcat model of N14HP and I was wondering if anyone has detailed photo's or maybe has worked on it or just got to crawl around on it that can help me with a couple color questions... 1st - What is the color of cockpit and instrument panel... 2nd - When you look into the wheel wells up into the area behind engine what color are the tanks on the firewall, engine mounts and duct work... This model comes pretty detailed in these areas so I would like to get close on color choices... Thanks in advance, Mike

Fellow WIXer, Steve Dickey, should be able to help you with that. If I see him today, I'll let him know your request. Otherwise, I'm sure he'll see this thread soon enough. :-)

Yeah, Steve is with us here in OKC, tinkering with one of those clunky ol' Warbird-types. I reckon he'll get back to you on the Bearcat request when he gets back to Beer-can-ridge, TX. :D
