Looking good Alistair and nice extras, looking forward to seeing the interior build up, I have gone for the Eduard PE  cockpit set for mine.

Great work

Chris

Thanks Chris,

I'm looking forward to seeing what it all looks like when it's on too.

I wanted to try the Look IP to see what they were like.

 

Cheers,

Alistair

Alistair,

 

Those extras look very nice, although I'm not sure how much will be seen of the IP!

 

Cheers,

All the necessary bits were given a bit of a detail paint, clear coated and then I got the 3D decals down.

The few bits of PE were added to the IP and seat.

Once all that has settled I'll give everything a bit of a wash and then a matt coat.

After that I can start assembling bits together.

 

Thanks for looking,

 

Cheers,

Alistair

Thanks Chris,

The Kitsworld decals aren't as sharp and detailed as Quinta ones but it does add a little interest.

Looking great Alistair,  the extra details are fab. 

Chris

Thanks Chris,

There will be very little seen in the end but with the heavier was I'm hoping something will show through the canopy.

 

Cheers,

Alistair

Amazing now how kit producers are now adding the dunny!!!

 

Simon.

Thanks Simon,

It's surprising that such a necessary and integral part of the aircraft equipment has been avoided for so long. :D:whistle:

 

Cheers,

I got the fuselage buttoned up and thought it might be a good idea to try a dry fit of the canopy.

It was then I found that some tweaking was required.

Once that was done I touched up the paint.

Good lord - without my reading glasses I thought for a moment you wrote twerking. Alarming indeed...
