jonwinn Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 I messed one of these up once and will try it again, totally my error. So far I have the cockpit done and 3D harness and belts added. The 3D is OK but has a strange pink tint to the color, or my eye is off. I would use PE next time, the 3D is nice but it doesn't fit very good , settles down with Micro Set though.

jonwinn Posted May 8, 2023 Author Share Posted May 8, 2023 (edited) The cockpit is in, 15 grams of weight behind cockpit which is over the nose gear, top and bottom fuselage closed, HUD installed and canopy cemented closed. I started adding some PE to the fuselage. Edited May 8, 2023 by jonwinn forgot some info! DUH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
