wimbledon99 Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 Many thanks jrlx Well, I managed some colour this morning and I've just finished some of the etch this evening. I'm going call it a night as I have to prep for work tomorrow If anyone is wondering where the joystick is, it's on the floor somewhere I will find it! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 The cockpit is looking good - the PE IP really looks the business! Any sign of the joystick yet? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giemme Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I concur with Stix, cockpit looks good - especially with the added PEs. Ciao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimbledon99 Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 The cockpit is looking good - the PE IP really looks the business! Any sign of the joystick yet? Thanks Stix. Once the seat is complete and the two halves are joined, it should look quite a 'busy' office. Yep, found the joystick I came back after dinner to have another look and it was right in front of me. I was looking for 15 minutes before dinner! I concur with Stix, cockpit looks good - especially with the added PEs. Ciao Thank you Giemme. I hope to post some more this week but it depends on how things are at work after being away for 10 days 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specky Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 The cockpit PE really does look sweet , a distinct step-up from the kit decals - especially on the side consoles. I'm really going to have to invest in some acrylics for interior colours at least, I'm loosing ridiculous amounts of time waiting for enamels to dry! Cheers for now Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Nice work in the 'pit. Clean and tidy. Glad to hear you found the joystick control column after dinner Hope you find work as easy after taking the break from it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimbledon99 Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 Thank you Col, The return to work was surprisingly painless As a result, I've managed to find some time over the last couple of evenings to put the etch and decals on the seat (along with a little colour). I've also joined the two halves. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockeyboy76 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Looking good so far dude. How are you going to display her when finished. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimbledon99 Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Looking good so far dude. How are you going to display her when finished. Hi and thank you I hadn't thought about a display. I tend just to put them all on a shelf when complete. I do have a hanger that I acquired via Britmodeller but that's 1:48 scale. Might just have to find one in 1:72 to go with it!!

Thank you both I added the tail piece, did a small amount of filling last night (didn't need a lot). I then rubbed it down tonight. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimbledon99 Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Couldn't resist a couple of pictures with the seat in the cockpit However, it's only in there loose as I'll be fitting it near the very end of the build. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really appreciated I didn't get much time tonight but I did manage to drill out the hole for the pitot. Like the seat, it's loose fitted and will be fixed at the end. Just glad the camera can see it - I need glasses myself!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
