Tim Carroll Posted May 26, 2004 Author Share Posted May 26, 2004 I modified the rudder pedal mounting and made a "fake" lower fuselage also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Carroll Posted May 26, 2004 Author Share Posted May 26, 2004 This is the kit seat with a miliput rear cushion. The base has been replaced with plastic card. The indented shape was achieved by cutting the shape out and covering the piece of curd with wine bottle foil. this was "burnished" into shape and the whole lot glued to the seat base.

AngoMango Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Wow Tim, that's looking super! What sort of wash or weathering did you apply to the floor and sides? Looking forward to seeing the progress.
