    Hi
    Started a few days ago . I gave two days to filling and sanding many pin holes. Damm why they put them to visible areas. Like a honeycumb... At last engine and cockpit area comes to detailing... I have time at th moment while waiting for seat belts. Now its time make some extras.

    Very cool. The assembly on the last photo looks like a Star Wars speeder bike. An idea, perhaps? I guess theres is no such thing as an unfinished model 🙂

    Welcome onboard

    Very nice finish work on that assembly, the photo really shows off your work well. I am curious though, its a question about the angle of the instrument panel. I am not an expert, but I seem to remember the angle of the instrument panel being more perpendicular to the floor of the cockpit. It is just an observation/question on my part.

    Walt you are right but I fit instrument panel just to take photo . There will be some work before final assembly. Thanks for attention.

    The perfect opportunity for me to ask (yet again)...why? I've been told all the "standard" answers, but the logic continues to escape me. One spends much time, money (after-market) and effort into intricately detailing an area which, when completed, will be forever hidden and unappreciated by the viewer. Knowing this fact well beforehand, why did you, personally, go to all the extra work of detailing (superbly, I may add) if it was going to be "lost", as you put it? I just don't get it...maybe I'm not the consummate modeler.

    Craig this is a fun. Limit is personal satisfaction . For this model I will show %70 of details which I built till now. As you may see no photos from board side . Guess why ? 🙂

    You're obviously a better modeler than I...and possess more ambition. I wouldn't "bother" to detail to that exactness if it weren't going to be seen. On the other hand, I probably COULDN'T do detail work as well as you do!

    Contiune to work...Some sub-assembly photos.
    1- I added small strip to bottom of fuselage as necessary to level wing trailing edge...
    2- Fuselage ready to meet wings.
    3- Struts done. A lots of tiny things to make it semi-operational. But not works actually...
    4- Seat bealts arrived. Some process needs like a brain operation 🙂
    5- Canopy parts masked both sides. I tought that painting inside is better than one side painting. It will seems more realistic...
