Having completed my current builds I have selected this as my next project, acquired at Telford three years ago :
Ced B built one of these earlier in the year and that partially inspired my choice.
There are three grey and one clear sprues:
And a nice looking set of decals of course:
I think I will go with this scheme of the two offered - its the one depicted on the box art and has an attractive white tail:
Starting in the cockpit - I detest moulded in belts, these will have to go to be replaced by PE ones:
Much sanding and filing later they were gone, finished off with a dab of liquid poly to help smooth things out:
A mockup of the cockpit shows that the back of the instruments will be highly visible so that needs some detailing:
There was a sink mark on the back which while not very visible was worth plating over with a scrap of card:
Here is that finished ready for some paint:
I will add coloured wires to the instruments after paint.
The pilot's seat looked very squat so I have packed it out and added 1mm square seat rails:
That's as far as I've got today.
Bye for now,
Nigel
