    Great additions and improvements on detailing, Martin @naviatik
    Like said by Erik, your stand seems very functional.

    I can see I made great progress since last update.
    There was not as much time as I wanted to give it.
    Despite that I almost finished cockpit - rear wall is done - I guess it is not much accurate, but I really miss any good colorful photo - actually any close photo. So it is done to be a bit "nice looking".
    Seat are resin and yet, I had to improve them a lot because of missing belts and firing handles.
    By my opinion, they are close to real look now.

    There is still some painting to be done on these seats, but I hope in being close to finish.

    This is really progressing nicely, Martin. I’ll be referring to your log when I build mine.

    This is truly amazing, Martin @naviatik
    So much detailed paintwork, absolutely exceptional.
    Not sure what can be improved on those.

    I call these seats done!
    I have just added some details and improved lights and shadows on belts.
    These are definitely the most colorful seats I have ever done. I am so excited with their look and happy they will be well visible in Lightning's wide cockpit.
