Alright, I know: it's been, like, over a decade. Half the people on this forum have never heard of me. Those that have are already chuckling just a bit, ready to roast me with well-deserved comments like: "Bro, do you even (work) bench?" "Do you still remember which side of a tube of glue is which?" "Just how strong IS your eyeglass prescription these days?" etc.
Okay, throwing my T-51XT Sentinel build into the mix. This was a beloved Monogram 1:48 P-51 Mustang mod'd with a lengthened cowl and nosegear, extended aft fuselage, etc. into a turbo-t-tailed-trainer. At least, I think that was what it was called back then. Back in the early 2000s, it was coming along nicely, only to get stalled at the canopy-making stage. I have vacuum-forming machines so I have no excuse...just a pronounced lack of guts.
Anyhow, here's where it was left off. Where are those parts again? Now, let's see if I can even remember how to link or upload an image to this forum...

Yes, it has a scratch-bashed two-seater cockpit under that masking tape:

I remember this project from back when you first started it over at WhatIfModelers. Still going with the tricycle configuration with nose gear which is good to see.

Wow, that is some serious cockpit detail !

You forgot "John Who?" ???
Good to see a Master Modeller back in the (bench) seat! :smiley:

Good to see you back again!

The photos don't really do it justice ---- you should see Barry's work in real life :-*

Ditto. Lots of cobwebs to blow off...

Wow that looks like pure eye-candy!
Will enjoy watching this one get across the finish line!

Welcome back. A few old heads here remember you.
Looking good. Good idea enlarging the cockpit instead of trying to fit a seat in the regular mustang cockpit.
