      Hmmmm,"Baptism of Fire" indeed,me being me,i want the crew in,so seat belts need to be carved away,and slots cut,(Thanks for not doing that for me Mr.Dragon:angry: !)....

      A shame really,because,IMHO,if the cockpit was going to be empty i think the molded belts would`ve sufficed!.......

      some funky little etch boxes there,(Not important,but i was just chuffed how they came out!!:tears-of-joy,and because of trying to work out where the seat belt slots should be,i had to build up a bit of the flight crew.......

            Now,obviously,i ain`t the most skilled Flying fing builder,nor to that matter,great at detail painting,(I tend to go for the more,"Suggestive" look!),BUT,it kinda works when you see it properly.
            (Roll on me getting back to my beloved AFVs!!),Anyway,there we are so far,and believe it or not,i reckon i can make a fist of this baby!!:nerd:

              You are doing fine Andy. The cockpit is looking pretty good.
