BastianD Posted November 12, 2022 Author Share Posted November 12, 2022 Started with black priming the cockpit tub, seat, instrument panel and inside gun area. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BastianD Posted November 12, 2022 Author Share Posted November 12, 2022 And put the parts in FS36375, nicely decorated OOB, will see where to modify. The cockpit tub will have a gloss coat and then a wash. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BastianD Posted November 19, 2022 Author Share Posted November 19, 2022 Some progress made on the cockpit tub, panel and seat, more details to follow: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BastianD Posted November 26, 2022 Author Share Posted November 26, 2022 Did a gloss coat on the cockpit tub, panel and ejection seat, and started to do a wash in it. Let’s see how it gets out when dry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BastianD Posted November 27, 2022 Author Share Posted November 27, 2022 Cockpit panel glued in, cleaned the wash, instruments visible (although complicated because it’s very flat, so dry-brushing was not easy). Just a mat coat and make all the meters gloss, and then she’s ready to be glued into the cockpit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BastianD Posted December 10, 2022 Author Share Posted December 10, 2022 Hi everyone, it’s been a while but now that I’m stuck at home because of covid: what else can you do but modelling? 😬 Cockpit tub installed, and glued the two fuselage halves together. Let’s see how she comes out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BastianD Posted December 29, 2022 Author Share Posted December 29, 2022 Second layer on, and covered now.
