Well I have finally completed the RP Models resin kit of Douglas Bader sitting in his Spitfire cockpit. Quite a lot of parts go to make up this model and a bit of working out what can go where before gluing anything into place. The cockpit is a hefty piece of resin when completed and the addition of Bader makes it quite weighty. It has taken 5 months in total to get from opening the box to mounting the completed item onto a plinth, obviously i haven't been at it every day for five months, just a leisurely pace. I am sure i spent to much time painting and detailing pieces that once in the cockpit will be never seen again, parachute pack, control column, compass, etc. But its all part of the fun I suppose.
