Hey chris where's the PE, you forgot the PE ;D ;D ;D ;D

 

[Quaralane]

Some nice detail there

 

[Chris S]

Nice to have you all along

Nope ....no etch on this one ;D...To be honest ,there is a set available ,but most of it cant be seen ,so I dont see the point really !!

Crikey ....page 3 and not a bit of plastic stuck I'd better get a wriggle on ;D

And we have pics of the kit.....too cool. looks to be a nice little kit there Chris. You know I have been waiting for you to start this one. ;D

 

[Chris S]

Ok ...wait no longer ;D

Chocks away chaps !!!

Work starts as always in the cockpit . I put the main sub assemblies together ,some parts still need a little clean up ,but I'll do that before paint .

Centre panel / pilot seat mount ........



The belts are molded onto the seats ,but they're not bad ,so a bit of careful paint should bring them up



Next up is the dash / rudder pedals , you'll notice the pedals still need cleaned up ,but I fixed them to the dash to give me more to hold onto :



And the pilots control stick .....


This is how it will all look once fixed to the floor ...




Thanks for looking.

Chris.

[TRM]

Hey Chris,

How big is that assembly? Just trying to get a feel for the size. Nice detail for moulded-on/out-of-box, it is 1:32, so they have more room to mould in the details. Nice looking kit, I've read a review of it and they really gave it praise.

 

[Chris S]

Thanks T ;D

JMac....the lenght of the whole cockpit floor is about 5 inches ,the wingspan of the kit is 15.5 inches ;D...its a big un !!!

Chris.
