Good progress, Brian @f-104nut
The seats will improve significantly.

This one is moving right along, Brian @f-104nut. I am really starting to like the Quinta (and similar) products. It is really nice not to have to cut out, bend, and attach the PE, and hopefully not have the pre-coloring flake off.

I decided to go with the Aerocraft 3D Buccaneer seats which look way better then the kit seats . Only thing is they dont have the loaction box on the back to mount on the bulck heads . I used some plstic stock to make some , test fitted and perfect ! Now to make up my mind if I'll use the Aerocraft ejection seat pulls or the Quinta Studio set ejection pulls ? Instrument panel coaming was painted with my own Tamiya mix then drybrush with german gray . Crew ladders assembled and i added a piece pof place for extra brace . Speed brake cleaned up and assembled . I origanlly drilled out the holes for the wing mounted , Looking closely at the markings i chose this plane does not have them so i have to fill the mount holes in .

The Aerocraft seats are pieces of art, my friend @f-104nut! Great job on the coaming, too! Superb looks allover.

Those seats are impressive, Brian @f-104nut
Lots of details, clearly an improvement over the original ones.
George R Blair Jr said 1 month, 1 week ago:

Ditto from me, Brian @f-104nut, your replacement seats are terrific. I have always thought that lackluster seats really detract from an otherwise outstanding cockpit, while well-detailed seats raise the level of the cockpit considerably. These seats will really up the level of your interior. Paint will really make the seats look perfect.

Busy couple of days on the Buccaneer . Installed the HUD and coaming . The Aerocraft seats was sprayed with mr surfcer 1500 primer . Once dry you can really see the amazing 3D printed detail . Bottom seat frame color was airbrushed and the black was hand painted . Next I'll start painting the cushins . I was pretty sucessful makng my Tamiya mix for the RAF light aircraft grey which was spray on the slipper fuel tanks . Once the bombs are sprayed with clear gloss il atemp to use the kit decals for the yellow band on the nose. Next to get the windsheild cleaned up and ready to glue on .

This is going to look great, Brian @f-104nut.

Seats look really nice with lots of detail, Brian (@f-104nut). Those landing gear struts look huge.

Spent the last week working on various parts . Took about a week to paint the aerocraft seats which are just beautiful painted with Tamiya acrylics . Only thing left to paint are the pull handle on the bottom and top ejection pulls . I used the super nice kit decal stencils on the FOD covers. . FOD covers and seats now ready for future wash . Windshield masked the dead design mask set and frame sprayed with Tamiya cockpit black . Next ill start spraying mr surfacer primer .
