So, I found the P-80 flight model remake by Mudpond, and I got to thinking. What if the excellent people from here were to update that file to represent the P-80A-5 and the P-80B respectively, have an excellent skinner like Bravo/4 make new skins for them, and have someone build a totally new cockpit for this jet. It would be awesome to have an American jet of the same quality as the FP P-51D or some Spits or 109's that you can find out there.
 
Do you know where to get the source file for that pit? (rhetorical question) I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's a whole heap of fiddling, trial-and-error work :banghead: just to get the shape right to fit in the aircraft, not to mention match the external model's canopy, and a modeller would have to be very keen to have a crack at that.

Better by far to build a new model from scratch - aircraft and cockpit - and have them fit together properly. But I'd better get back to my own, unfinished, project! :typing:
 
Try the F-86 from DPC Korea? It has a very good flight model and a cockpit that is far better than the stock P-80.
