Very nice start Tom!  The IP looks great and the modifications to the gunsight are really well executed.  The cockpit looks like it has some nice detail.

I managed to remove the lower seat cushion and finish the cockpit assembly. To make the photoetch levers more three dimensional I added blobs of superglue to the knobs, a quick and easy fix. For the pilots harness I substituted Tamiya tape for the photoetch, then glued the photoetch details of the belts onto the tape. I also used Airscale decals for the placards and compass. For weathering I lightly used Tamiya dark washes and Prismacolor pencils.

 

 

 

 

Cheers,  Tom

Are those rudder pedals on correctly Tom?

We actually included buckles on the PE in case modellers wanted to use lead foil.

I believe so. There’s a notch on the back of each pedal that aligns with the mount. Since I haven’t seen the real thing I’m just going by the instructions.

pedals seems ok.

Really nice work on the cockpit Tom.  And clever idea using Tamiya tape as a base for the PE seatbelts.
