mareku Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 (edited) THX JMan for your kind words! I´m not sure if`I understand your question. Each and every part of the seat build was produced by my hends from white styren and diferent materials. Then all was glued together and now the hole thing is waiting for paiting. That what I call scratchbuilding Edited March 11, 2010 by mareku Quote Link to post Share on other sites

geedubelyer Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Hello Mareku, Your seats are a vast improvement over the kit items :) May I make an observation? Only one thing stood out to me and that is the cushions. If you don't mind me saying, they look a little bit thick. Are you planning to do anything else to them before you paint them? Wow!! that is 1/48?!?! Nice work Umm,.....TT,....I think this is 1/18th scale......... :wub: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mareku Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 (edited) Thanks guis! It was a big work and I must do it once again, becourse there are two seats in the cockpits. May I make an observation? Only one thing stood out to me and that is the cushions. If you don't mind me saying, they look a little bit thick. Are you planning to do anything else to them before you paint them? Thees are not cushions yet. They are contener for the parashout and First help contener the pilot is siting at. Tey are hard materials made an paited green. The cushions are put on them. And the thicknes of everything will be just about right when ready paited and done. http://www.anft.net/f-14/f14-detail-ejection-rh-l.jpg Edited March 11, 2010 by mareku Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mareku Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 The cocpit I´v started today but first must get the finale answer from Eduard if they will made some PE parts for me in 1/18 scale. Then I was looking for something I can made radar dish from and I´v got from one model shop a decale for car models looking just like compozit material. I started then doing a radar asebly. First have to thined fuselage front side walls: Then I made a new radar wall: One more picture for comparishion Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mareku Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 Radar dish was sanded thin. I´m useing the kit part which is good from the back side. The decale I was talking about before is on the right side on the picture.It looks good to me. That is all for now. Thank you for waching Quote Link to post Share on other sites
