Derek Moss Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 So, heres where I've got to so far/ As Ian said, the cockpit interior is black and not grey as on the Eduard p/e which meant repainting between the printed bits. I used Xtracolour "tyre black" to have some contart to the black of the instrument bezels that can be seen in the Isra book. The first photo shows the p/e fret partially painted and the second one of the i/p's with some of the p/e attached. There are more bits to come and the panel itself has not been painted yet so I hope it will look a little better when it is finished. Watch this space! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

4scourge7 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 (edited) Oh yes! Nice one Derek! :P This is perhaps the only kit of two I`d consider doing in 32nd (The other would be an Israeli F-4E). But I`m still too chicken to take it on and find room for the completed beast. I`ll be looking forward to seeing more, all the best with the build. Cheers, Ian Edited November 24, 2008 by Ian Buick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jcfay Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Derek - great looking instrument panel. I'll be watching this build. Great subject. JON Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Derek Moss Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 I haven't made much progress as I pretty much only manage to build some week-ends but I figured I should show something else it would look like I disappeared! I have just about finished the cockpit - the seats and sticks and some final p/e pieces to go in (the p/e is what took the most time - there are over 100 parts for the cockpit and seats, many about the size of a pinhead, and another 60 knobs and switches to be made from 0.3mm wire! The photos are not great but I hope you can see something. I put one in of the seats which still have quite a way to go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
