Horten Ho IX - Part IV

Here are the final touches in the cockpit and in the internal structure. 

By consulting the documentation is clear the presence of the heat shields around the engines, served to protect the central cell of wood. To build the shield on the left engine (it will be visible in the finished model), I used plasticard 0.10 mm. 

you can also see the dash completed in its sandwich structure, with detailed wiring of the instruments. 

let's see some images.

Here we can see the two engines cated with Alclad 2 Black, as a base for metallic colors
