TEMPESTMK5 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) Good morning My 2nd build for this Gb is the A37 Dragonfly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cessna_A-37_Dragonfly Last Week end I started the Academy kit https://www.scalemates.com/kits/103896-academy-1663-a-37b-dragonfly I am using Pavla seats and an Eduard Zoom set to detail the cockpit I prepared the seats and instrument panel I also worked on some other parts : I painted the undecarriage and the well landing gear in white , the interior of the cockpit in grey etc..

jean Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Bonjour Patrice, one of my all times favorites! I did not know Pavla had done seats for the A-37, and they look rather good too! It is a small plane, but it has a "big" cockpit, so it is important to spend some time on it. Looks good so far! JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEMPESTMK5 Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 Salut JR Thank you .Yes it is a small plane with a big cockpit I replaced the Academy seats with Pavla ones because I found them too simple .. Patrice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killingholme Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Excellent, looks good- the seats are certainly worth it. I'd recommend adding the oxygen hoses too- they are very prominent in the real cockpit. Good luck finishing for the deadline! Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
