Right gents I'm back from my family visit so back to it. First up the cockpit and navigator bit of the aircraft. Started fitting the Eduard stuff, very fiddly but it does look good.
Still quite a few controls to construct but I don't like to rush these or the carpet monster will put on weight.
The seat belts for the kit are transfers and as I don't have any replacements I thought I'd try a little experiment and put them on to some
Tamiya tape (other brands are available
) Then I shall carefully cut them out and see if they look any better, if not plan B look for some.
More controls on the glass and the gun sight.
I'd already started brush painting with the
Tamiya cockpit colour when this arrived. It was listed as new to the Vallejo air range and is a very close colour match. I'm going to try it on a couple of parts and see what it looks like.
On nights at the moment but hopefully more updates soon, thanks for looking.
