| Right, the main part of the cockpit is done. Just have a few little bits to do but cant untill i have put the CCIP upgrade part on...which i can do untill my Xacto saw comes.
i wish i could say i painted all those instruments and buttons but i didnt. the p/e set was pre-coloured. I had to re-paint some of them to change the colour from Light Ghost Grey to a near black.
Now i know im going to get a die-hard F-16 fan tell me the cockpit is wrong. Yes, this cockpit is wrong. the plane is a MLU but the instrument pannel is not. but hey...its still looks good!
Also done the Aires exhaust. I was going to be using Alclad II Jet Exhaust for this but i want to practice spraying it first so i will use it on another build.
also made the FOD Cover. i did this by wetting a tissue, covering it over. Covering in watered down PVA glue. Waited for that to dry and painted it. Because the paper absorbes some of the colour it also takes away the harshnes of the red.
enjoy... |
