Seversky Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Hi! Now I want to build Northrop F-5F Iranian Air Force. My prototype http://www.airteamimages.com/northrop-f-5_3-7154_iran---air-force_113455_large.html To implement my idea I will use a kit of AFV Club and also two pilots from Academy. and LAU-3 from Trumpeter Firstly, it was necessary to alter the pilot's seat of the Northrop ejection seat into Martin Baker BRQ-7A! For this purpose, I made a mix of the seats - AFV kit + Revell (Phantom) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seversky Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 I assembled instrument panels, and began to try to sit pilots on the pilot's seat (yet without a head). Then assembled central part of the aircraft. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilfish Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Stunning work. I'm doing an F-20B (what-if) and I wish I could do the cockpit half as good as yours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here! Not sure how you managed the increments and such on the dials but looking really good. Dennis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyB Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Stunning detailing! I'm always in awe of how effortless extra details can look when done well. One quick question, how did you mask the clear part in between the crew with all of that extra wiring in place? Your cockpit painting is incredibly clean. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seversky Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 Quick answer - using Tamiya tape and Humbrol Mascol. I show you later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vesthepes Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) Excellent work, will follow this one closely... Don't mean to be rude or picky but please check your ref though.
