BillL Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Here's the latest pics of my most recent project, Hasegawa's 1/48 Ki 43 Oscar. I'm using Eduard's PE detail set. I finished the cockpit today. Plenty of PE and added wiring and hoses. Eduard only includes an instrument panel for the top, so I had to use the kit's lower panel. The refief is pretty sharp, and I don't think there's too much difference between the two. It worried me a little that the plastic one would detract from the rest of the 'pit. The cockpit opening is pretty small, so some of this will be difficult to see once I close the fuselage. I'll know it's there, plus I've got the pics ! The previous pics are here: http://www.pix.prettyneatinc.com/oscarbuild.htm Thanks for letting me share it with you ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
