I hope you have fewer problems with Hayabusa than I do 🙂

Wow, this is amazing, my friend @jmillan!
Looking forward to your chosen scheme...
...and, might I say, the boxart one looks spectacular!

Started on the Oscar last night since I finished my spitfire. The cockpit has some pretty nice interior detail. I added some stretched sprue for the rudder control cables. That was a test of patience trying to glues those tiny things on. I also got the cowl flaps glued on, went on pretty straight. I noticed the seat pan is a lil chunky compared to the original one. Might try to slim it down or make a new one out styrene sheet or a coke can will see. I think I’m going to add to some wires to the floor to busy it up as well. Until then.

Thanks Spiros I slimmed the seat down a bit but it’s hard to tell in the photos.

I got all the interior parts painted, weathered and flat coated just need to add seatbelts and a lil bit of dirt on the floor board. I Dry brushed the IP with white enamel paint I think it looks better then the decal. I’m Pretty happy how its looking so far but once it’s closed up you’ll probably not see much of the details. Also I goofed on the seat I think it should have been silver.

Yep, the cockpit looks wonderful, my friend @jmillan!
The seat looks great: I would keep it and wouldn't go aftermarket. As for its color, it might have been silver, but it might have very well been as you painted it (I have "seen" both). Such was also the case with my Toryu seat (and, I believe with many Japanese planes of that era).
Looking forward to your progress!

@jmillan Great cockpit. My Ki-43 cockpit looks microcosmic.

@wkubacki thanks for all the reference material!
