Eduard have some good aftermarket stuffs in this kit like PE parts, resin tire details and masks but the motor part and the cockpit part is not enough detailed in my opinion so i decided to add some details my own. Here is my ideas and pictures enjoy!

These are the motor panels i will cut off first.

Found this extra part from my corsair build.

Gonna add it like this.

Also going to add this copper inside.

Better looking motor interior like this i guess.

Planing to add more details in of course. Hope you guys like it feel free to add comment or thoughts.

I cut the motor panels and sanded them so the details i add inside will be visual now. I am glad kit had some extra motor panels to make it easier.

This things needs some detail interior for sure.

Here is the first look of the result.

Some more.

I will be busy detailing inside the motor panels. Hope you like the progress done so far.

Some more detail pictures about my progress so far.

it will look good after the paint and some weathering to front motor panel i guess. At least better than the stock motor panel.

Well i am intrested with engine section as you can see from my progress but have to finish cockpit to keep on working there so its time to work on cockipit now. It needs attention too. As i mentioned before this kit is not so good on cockpit and motor detail. I will try to do my best to buff the looking of the cockpit.


Basic cockpit lookup.

I found this seat in my 1\48 extra parts.

Detail needed.

I am in love with metal stuff.

Here is where i am at not i will keep detailing meanwhile.

I will continue adding details of course.

Thanks Scoott.

Here is some more details then? ;D

Made new handle. I will work more on it later.

The seat it comes with the kit is sucks. I found this seat as replacement in my extra parts. I will go with this one for sure.

More detailing of course. Drilled parts for some more cable detail.

Result is here. After the paint it will look better i think.

Hope you guys like it. ;D
