Neat Ian, was hoping someone would be building a Defiant.

 

[papa 695]

Made a start on this one, got the cockpit built up and parts of the wing and undercarriage.

I built it's little brother recently, interesting read about the how the crew had to help each other if either were badly injured.

 

[BattleshipBob]

Count me in on this one as well!!

 

[papa 695]

Thanks guys, got it primed ready for painting.

 

[papa 695]

Just been looking at cockpit colours, and came across this.

One for another build

 

[Mr Bowcat]

In for the build Ian, not seen one of these before.

 

[papa 695]

Ok back to this one, got the cockpit painted. Still need to paint the finer details and weather it a little.

There isn’t any seatbelts for the kit, so I’m going to use these

 

[papa 695]

Got the cockpit done, just needs some Matt varnish and putting together.

Thanks guys, Tony it’s not that fast really there’s not much to the cockpit and it builds really well, it’ll slow down when I start to put it all together no doubt.
