    Thanks a lot @mas and (@Johnb)

    yes Marc (@mas) this is what I think too, it is the emergency handle. my research for that on other Mirage did just came up with something "Emergency" mostly written inside an arrow. So for this I decided to opt for an yellow frame with Emergency as wording, but printet it is so small, that my printer just makes dots aout of it. So I keep it as dots.

    John (@Johnb) I use an insulation tape made from aluminum for that. This tape is about 2 or 3 times thicker than avaerage household alu foil.

    The ejection seat really looks great, Martin (@impisi). I was also wondering what you had used for the straps and detail. I guess I need to go to the hardware store.

    Awesome progress, my friend @impisi!
    The "G" primed looks nice and homogeneous and the seats look excellent!

    Thanks a lot Gentlemen!

    I had quite some fun with the canopy, it did not want to fit in very well but some magic sculp did help in the end



    it is not perfect but will do.

    so the first base level of grey did find its way onto the Fata Morgana



    Thanks for looking in
