RAH Comanche "Attack Version"

Chapter 2 of 2

Building the cockpit.

Oct 15, 2026

Having no information other than a few pictures it was time to start scratch-building the Comanche cockpit. I used 1/8th inch "basswood" which is very lightweight. Once the "tub" was finished I made the instrument pedestal with basswood and plastic and the hood with plastic sheet. The multifunction displays and seats were printed from files found on Cults3D. The pilots were 1/6th scale which were slightly scaled down to fit the 1/7.8 scale fuselage. Helmets are SPH5 style that were also printed from files found on Cults3D. Pilot accessories and personal weapons were purchased from Ebay.
