sharkey Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Wow, thats an unreal amount of details. The big question is how does it fit?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yasa Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Wow, thats an unreal amount of details. The big question is how does it fit?! Both of mine, the F-14A and F-14D cockpits dropped straight in after I removed the stubs from the pour. The new stuff from Aires are mostly drop in fits. I have had no problems with the AV-8B and the A-4 sets also. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tomfomes Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 (edited) Wow, thats an unreal amount of details. The big question is how does it fit?! :deadhorse1:/>/> Hi sharkey, It fits good. I just removed the stubs like Yasa mentioned and it was OK. A little progress...I worked on a cockpit. I made some extra details: No comment needed for this... Next I painted the cockpit with Mr. Color 317 and then the panels with Tamiya enamel flat black: Edited November 12, 2014 by tomfomes Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately I don't have time to work on it every day.. :( Wow, nice work in the cockpit. The instruments look amazing. :) Thank you very much.

tomfomes Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) Hi guys! Nothing much happend to my tomcat lately...I have worked on the seats. I had to reshape canopy-piercing spikes on the back seat, because it was same size as the one on front seat. I also added some extra details and primed the seats with Mr. Resin Primer.
