(ex)Sgtrafman Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Evening everyone Whilst I'm making for things to dry on my 'Stang I thought I'd make a start on my Javelin. Not much to show yet but I've made a start on the cockpit by adding some spare resin bits to represent the throttle, and other various levers... And I've been working on the bang seats... Still a few bits to add to finish them off but I'm pretty happy with how they look for my first effort Yours aye Iain 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breaker Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Might be worth checking the other cockpit parts Sgt? I think the throttle is molded to the sidewall so you might need to remove it now with the resin bits. Look forward to watching this one progress.

Great work on your Spits and Harrier by the way, proper job! Yours aye Iain Good stuff, look forward to seeing the completed mustang. Thanks! I was surprised how good the Otaki spit kit is given it's age, and was glad to get the Harrier finished. Hopefully the Seafire will be finished by the end of the week; its at that stage where there's not much to do, but everything seems to take a long time!

(ex)Sgtrafman Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 Evening everyone No pictures I'm afraid but I've given all the cockpit bits n pieces a base coat of flat black before I start on it properly tomorrow ( well that's the plan!) til then all the best.

Breaker Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I started mine today after seeing your thread. The cockpit is lovely to paint, lots of sharp detail to pick out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(ex)Sgtrafman Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 Hey Breaker The whole kit looks fantastic, very well moulded, great detail and well designed. How are you going to construct your cockpit? Are you going for OOB or are you gonna do a little scratch building? I'm going to add a few extras to mine just to (Hopefully) make a rather dark area a little more interesting. Looking forward to seeing your build. All the best Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breaker Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I cheated and painted my cockpit dark grey! Mines OOB but I'll probably add some seatbelts from tape and brass. I'll start a thread on mine later so not to clog your thread up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(ex)Sgtrafman Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 I'm gonna paint mine in Mr Color Dark Iron (a metalizer paint) hope to have some progress piccies a little later. Cheers Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(ex)Sgtrafman Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 Hi everyone First off can I just say how hard it is to photograph a cockpit that is black on black!! I'm happy with how the cockpit has turned out. I used airscale decals for the instruments and all other details were picked out with Citadel Chain mail silver except for the hand held fire extinguisher on the rear port cockpit side wall which was painted red just to add some color (not that you can see it!). Anyway here are the pictures... Well that's me for now....I'm off for a gin and tonic and annoy the wife! Yours aye Iain 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaStix Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 That's a superb looking cockpit Iain. Your attention to detail is always impressive and this is no different. Great stuff! Hope you enjoyed the G&T and your wife wasn't too annoyed with you! ;-) Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
