jcasilimas Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I was thinking to do an OOB while I'm doing a job far from home, but after opening the Testor box I saw a really basic cockpit, raised detail...etc Then, I'll try to re-do the cockipt and re-scribe the entire Phantom. This will be the first time doing it, that means all your inputs and comments will be helpful. original Cockpit: Starting the process: I have to create internal walls, this is the mold... After this picture, I raised the cockpit from the base.. I have a couple of seats and control panels from True Details for a Hase, that I will use. So far I has been working for 12 hours on this process... its slow... Thanks for looking. Javier Quote Link to post Share on other sites

siesta3 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Excellant work! I've built a few weaselsl myself. The only thing though is the backseat instrument panel is for an F-4E. Otherwise its just great detailing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
