IIRC, it is the primer pump for the engine. Was hand-operated and made of copper or brass.

Thanks, I'm new to building WW1 kits. I would think that most of items in this era are made of Copper and Brass.

My answer cannot be 'definitive' , all I did was follow fuel and air lines in pics and see them go to the prominent valves in the cockpit area.
As this isnt a personal build thread I can put a pic up of my IP. I researched the pump and found it to ba an air pump to pressurize the fuel tanks. I plumbed mine to the valve right near it. I believe the pilot would select the tank to be pressurized and turn the valve accordingly and then pump air into the tank , there by pushing the fuel into the feed line to the carb.
See it on the right with no handle yet and a line going under to the valve right near to it.
The backside:
I would think the bird in question here would only have a single fuel tank , so the line woud go directly to the tank.
But as I say just surmising.
that is what I thought as well. I just want sure to were it would lead to. Direct to the engine for "static" pressure priming or for oil to circulate. My thoughts at the time was that it was for fuel priming.
Second, that looks GREAT!
Third, this is is what I came up with. I looks a bit better than whats in the kit I think, I'm not sold on my handle though.

What type of glue or solvent did you use to affix them? Try reactivating the glue if it hasn't been too long ( 24-48 hours, etc...).

I'm working on a revised F6F Cockpit Control Stick for my 1/24 Airfix Hellcat kit. There are thousands of images of the control stick from the top but none from the side that show off the full parts. Does anyone have any images of it in more detail. Diagrams, etc.?
A canvas covering that usually covers the control box. Would this be something that was usually not present on operational aircraft on a carrier?

Ive been using all of there primers for my jobs. I tend to thin much like the old saying. "Thin as milk..." 7:3 for me with Leveling thinner being the majority of the mix.

Or you can take files or grinder or sandpaper to a set you have that you don't like, and custom make your own.
That was the first thing that I thought of as well. I have just the pair in mind.

Yes, they are. I think they find something that is already in production and stamp their logo, then charge %80+. Might you have a link to the ones you got?

Might they do one for a Felixstowe in 1:32?

The RAF never issued flak jackets that I'm aware of.
Maybe for seat cousins?

Really great work on this gem. I've been wanting to get one for some time. I think I will now!

I just love the streaking from the upper reservoir!
What material would you use for....?

Hair roller paper (thick paper tissue) is a good material for creating thin tarps and other such materials. I use it for the aforementioned but can also be used for your use. I use diluted white-glue and Vallejo paint.
