scott_t Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 A small amount of progress ...... the wife has kept me hopping around helping her set up Xmas .....think that is finally done. Been working on the Aires cockpit set ....separating casting blocks from the parts .... I have 2 of these F-4J/F-4S sets and both of them are missing a chunk of resin from the rear cockpit back wall behind the seat. I guess those guys at Aires are consistent I little patch with a piece of plastic and putty .....should not be noticeable with paint Pieces fit well together .... Been working on the etched brass for the instrument panels ....punching out tiny disks with my punch & die set adding some knobs ......otherwise the instrument panels look too flat ....I took a pic and realized I have a couple of the new knobs laying sideways ...oops ! My eyes are NOT what they used to be. Will fix them over the next couple of days .....I used the smallest punch I have and the knobs look a little oversized ..... I can live with it. That's all for now Thanks for looking Scott johncrow, LSP_Paul, Dragon and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I'm on my first "Aires Adventure" with my build. I love the detail, but the prep work to get the pit to fit is onerous, at for least me.Progress look good, and the knobs look great!
