Hello lads,


Update from the bench. Cockpit is 80% completed. But I'm having a setback for the resin electronic bay. It's driving me mad


I cut the kit's plastic and it won't fit and affecting other areas like the radome, wheel bay etc. i'm so gutted this happenedView attachment 245427

Hello,


I managed to fit everything in place for the electronic bay, but I have to take out all the resin cockpit as consequences. It seems those resin just plain evil.


So I use the cockpit OOB, but able to salvaged the resin ejection seats. This weekend I managed to fit the cockpit tube and upper part of the fueselage.


Cheers and Happy Chinese New Year from Indonesia
