Hi Angelo,

Outstanding job on this model. I recently purchased so I can get it right this time as opposed to the nine year old who built in one day many moons ago.

 

Like you I plan to scratchbuild many details and your build has really inspired me. I do have one question for you if you can answer:

I am working on the pilot and copilot seats and all the interesting framework BEHIND the seats. I noticed they are painted a different color than the seats. What was the order of events to create these parts? Did you assemble the seats, the side seat supports (Parts 3 and 4) and then scratchbuild all the additional details on the back of the seats, painting by hand once completed or ...?  If you could describe the sequence used to create these two highly detailed seats. Thanks in advance!

Hello there! 

I only used the kid's seat frames.  Once they were cleaned up and further details were added, I built the armour on to them, fashioning new seat cushions from thick plastic card.

 

Hope that this is helpful?

Regards,

Angelo (TD-1854)
