Thanks my friend @airbum...
...yep, cockpit, based in rare photos and Val inspiration, seems not that bad in its ficticious reality...

Now you're talking! Very nice indeed my friend!

Man that is one good looking model! Cockpit detail truly is above and beyond.

The decals really bring the model alive. Flawless work overall and very near the finish line! Man those floats look huge. I am always struck by how much the Japanese could get from their floatplane designs, including formidable fighters like the Rufe and Rex as well as first class scouts like the Jake. This is going to be one cool looking model.

With The Me-261 "Adolfine" consuming most of my time the last couple of days, I did some progress with my Jake, too: I Installed the nice looking exhausts, finished the assembly of the dolly, drilled holes at the strut bases for the rigging and touching up here and there (pics will be posted to the next installment...no camera now, sorry...)

Run out of yellow paint for touching up the yellow fin band.

As I have the day off today, I will rush to my local hobby shop for one!

After yellow touchup it will be weathering time!

Nice work Spiros! It’s almost finished, the only missing (major) parts are the canopy and propeller right?
