Time for a proper look into this kit as I have taken my time to unbag everything and take some better pictures and some close up detail and with my choice of version.

- Thread starter peterairfix

I have just finished off page one and judging by how easy and how detailed it looks I am going to enjoy this kit plus I have added some weathering and a bit of wear.
Looking good so far Pete. Well done. Andrew

Wow that's a nice start Peter, I will enjoy following this build :thumb2:
I had almost forgotten about that one and as I had already done one I am in no hurry to finish it.
Seat and seatbelts added over the last couple of days and a small panel over the rudder pedals and weathered to suit so far no problems even the seatbelts came out better than expected.
That’s looking great Peter
I have just managed to squeeze the cockpit into one side.
And added more behind the cockpit.
And added more behind the cockpit.
Stunning! One suggestion I think the lap belts could do with a bolt head where they attach to the seat.

Thanks for the suggestion I have just done a test fit of the two sides together but that area won't be seen.
This looks great peter. Nice work on the 'pit.
Looking good pete, very busy cockpit , cheers tony
Last pictures of the inside before sewing up and it's a bit of a squeeze to get it all in but I does need a bit of filler here and there.
Nice progress Peter, quite a big model too :thumb2:
Love the (what I assume is) map table!
That’s looking great Peter.
