Hi all,

 

A big thank you for all your messages, I'm glad you like it.

 

I started by removing the pipes and other details, which are placed on a body underneath.

Hi everyone,

 

The new pipes are placed on the front bulkhead of the cockpit.

 

Making a few flanges to fix the pipes.

Hi all,

 

Not much in advance because I had problems with the MRP painting, I had to strip and to begin again  several pieces.

 

I think I've wasted enough time with this product and I'm going back to the Gunze.

 

As half is already done it was a bit complicated to make a mixture of several shades of Gunze to have a similar hue for the other half of the cockpit.

 

The reconstructed pipes.

Hi everyone,

 

A few elements to furnish the bottom of the cockpit.

 

The joys of cleaning resin parts.

We're going to have to get out the engraver's stalls.

To make an old hydraulic pump.

Hi everyone,

 

What's next?

 

Coc.251.1.JPG

 

The footrests.

 

Coc.250.1.JPG

 

The compressed air bottles for the hydraulic manual pump.

nitially I wanted to add a welding cord.

 

Coc.253.1.JPG

 

Teflon masking.

 

Coc.254.1.JPG

 

But I did not like it, too rude and I can not make cords of welds thinner. The aluminum straps, bof bof!

 

Coc.252.1.JPG

 

I've done it simpler, anyway they hardly will see each other.

 

Coc.255.1.JPG

 

Coc.256.1.JPG

 

The oxygen bottle is also missing a welding cord. There it's easier, bigger!

 

Coc.258.1.JPG

 

Coc.259.1.JPG

 

Coc.260.1.JPG

 

Coc.261.1.JPG

 

Coc.262.1.JPG

 

All that remains is to install all this in the background of the cockpit and plug them in with their pipes.

 

See you soon,

Sweety

Hi all,

 

Not much in advance these times.

 

The bottom of the cockpit is almost finished.

It's moving, certainly not fast, but it's moving forward.

 

The rear partition with the seat.
