CorsairMan Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Very nice! My HB cockpit is almost identical. Is there a way to "bend" the armor plate back to the rear cockpit bulkhead? I don't think it should be standing on its own but I could be wrong about that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CorsairMan Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 The bulkhead has got to stay put. Is there a way to move the entire seat assembly towards the back? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spokane-Modeller Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) Just gotta add color and decals to the prop but im callin this one done, im pleased with the outcome and for my first time using Micro sol and set it was a dream setting the decals.
