Wow, springs look great!! I'll have to file that little gem away somewhere. I finally got a good look at the kit the other day at my LHS.
So jealous.

Great work on that cockpit so far

Here's what I've been doing for the last 2 days...


If it looks glossy, mushy..that's because I soaked down the paper to get it to lay more naturally.

Those are RB Production seatbelts and Jerry Rutman's seat. Hope you likey.

 

[13aceofspades13]

me likey

 

[Quaralane]

Those belts look really authentic

And here we are with the head rest, I bumped it up a bit, cutting grooves and indentation where the cushion would have flatten out some. Washed over the seat belts.



Now, that Fuel Selector switch has a great deal of detail markings, I do not understand why Tamiya didn't give some decal for that part. Its the one with the red selector at the foot of the pedestal

Not sure if I want to order a whole new set of Eduards interior just for that one part. What would you do?

What an awesome kit. I've always wanted to order a 1/32 scale kit, they just have so much detail packed into them. Your off to a great start. Its really looking good.

 

[Quaralane]

Looking VERY nice there

Nicely done MP, but if your still lack with the interior details.. scratchbuilding some parts will do

For me it depends on the subject. I like P-47's so I tend to get a bit picky about the details on those. Other not so much.

 

[Junkie]

Looking great!

The physical details are there, the decals are not.

Here's an image of the fuel selector switch

I just can't paint that tight! guess I'll be looking for some Eduard pe.

Looking Great!!! Loving That Cockpit!!!

 

[Moon Puppy]

Thank you sir!

Barracuda Decals to the rescue!



Ordered a set now just wait for it to show up.

In the mean time, I'll look at the Dragon Mustang and maybe finish the Sabra

 

[13aceofspades13]

ooh yea baby....

 

[Myke]

Sahweet work! What are those belts made of?
Nice find on the decals too. I see what you mean about needing some detail there. That's too much to not have on a quality kit like this.

 

[Eastrock]

Your on the right track. MP!!! this will come out great
