Have got colour on some of this now,some detail has been removed from the cockpit area ready for the PE...

Can I ask how you removed it, Mark? Was it omitting pieces, or cutting away moulded detail?

Hi Paul, cutting or sanding away original details was required,some of the PE was extra details not supplied with the kit in any form and just had to be glued on.

 

[Mark1]

That about as many levers as my eyesight can manage.

Hi Mark
Some fine work there. PE work has added some great detail.

Cheers Jim, the one thing doing PE has taught me is....I need new glasses:nerd:

Thanks mate :thumb2:

And you didn't lose any levers. If that was me, I'd probably have two or three left, with the others, scattered around my room.

Didn't lose any, there is a few I haven't put on though,sure no one will notice if I keep quite about it .......oops.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Looking great. I love the way extra detail lifts a build…

 

[Mark1]

Thanks Tim, first go with this colour etch and only because it has a large canopy,would have gone for seat belts as well but I would need a dremmel to sand off the old ones and I've not got one, another thing on the to buy list!

 

[Charlie Delta Foxtrot]

So much detail! looks great!

Thanks mate :thumb2: going OK considering you can probably count the number of planes I've done on one hand lol.

 

[Mark1]

I'm done with the cockpit now, think it's turned out OK,

Hi Mark
Builds onto a big model. That PE looks a nice set but as with all PE you tend to pick and choose what is worth using. Cockpit is looking great. I rarely use CA for PE first off. I used Gator Hobby Glue (almot impossible to find now) but that white PVA works ok. Give wiggle time and cleans up with a damp brush. If I am worried about the fix being secure I wick a drop of thin CA into the join when the PVA has dried. Looking forward to the rest.
Jim

Excuse me Mark .
That's a great tip Jim. I've got one of those bottles of Gator Glue, thanks to you, but never thought about wicking some CA .

I totally understand and agree with missing a couple out. No one will hear of this omission from me. Mum's the word.

Looks fantastic to me. Nothing wrong with those seatbelts either! Might be telling you to suck eggs, but if you get a kit with duff or poorly moulded belts you can get aftermarket seats.
