Berkut Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 (edited) And here is test fits. As you can see, it is some gaps, but they are not problem to fix with some good old plastic work. In fact, i have already fixed 80 % of that gap, but i am to lazy to take pictures. Tomorow. And here is front. Little bit of plastic needed here too. I have also glued some parts, pictures tomorow.

ChernayaAkula Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 (edited) Careful with that saw! Saves you time. A real bargain at that price. Where did you get it? Edited October 20, 2007 by ChernayaAkula Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Josh1971 Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Great looking cockpit set! Can't wait to see the rest of this build. JB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janman Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 The Aires set certainly is worth all the money - especially when you got it so cheap! I've got the 1/72 scale version waiting for my future 9-13 build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 Like i said gap in the back is not hard to fix, here is two photos: Areas with red ring is some gaps i need to fill. And some sanding is requed to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
