Cockpit-Preparation and attaching Cables-Extension

Nice to have you again reading my blog.


Today I will describe, how I prepared the cockpit for guiding of the cabling and how I integrated the cables-extension in the wing-connection of the fuselage.

Since the finished model is too big for transportation when the wings are attached (nearly 1m wingspan = nearly 39 inches!) we decided from the beginning, that the wings - and therefore also the electronics - have to be detachable. The model itself offers a bayonet lock which

allows the wings to be attached and detached. So no extra work needed here. This meant that it was „only“ necessary to make cable-extensions and a plug-system.


Again a big „thank you“ goes to my friend Sven who supplied me with the necessary parts and photos since he prepared 2 sets (one for his Dambuster and one for mine).


But first I want to describe how I prepared the cockpit for guiding the cables to the main board in the back of the bomb-bay.

Based on photos I got from Sven I began to make big holes for the cables and their plugs:

The big hole on the port side is for guiding the cable-extension from the wing-attaching-point to the main board.

The small one is for the cable from the main service panel.

Holes on the starboard side for the cables from navigators- and wireles-operators office.

And the big hole for the cables from the cockpit and bomb-aimers-compartment.


All holes were sanded smooth to prevent the cables from being cut by sharp edges.



Next step was to prepare the fuselage-connection to the wing for the mounting of the plug:

I first made a hole for the plug.

Then the plug was glued into the hole:

This is how it looks from the other side:

The white stripe protects the cables from protruding out of the wing-connection.


Everything was painted and with this the whole preparation for gluing the fuselage-halfs together was finished:

This will be the topic of the next post in which I will also show you how I fixed all the cabling in the bomb-bay and closed it. Additionally I will show you how I build and improved the Upkeep mine and it’s equipment.

Hope you enjoyed my post and looking forward to meeting you again in my blog.

Reading about all this precision and planning really makes me admire hands-on work like this. I’ve been stuck behind screens lately trying to do my online Business studies exam while juggling everything else definitely not as rewarding as building a model like this. Great work on the wiring and setup, it’s seriously impressive craftsmanship!
