blackbetty Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 this kit is what got me back into modelling (the G model) i always loved the thud... but even on my first build after 20 years i couldnt live without the CE corrected nose, fin and dorsalfin, they are that bad in the kit. i closed the cockpit because i didnt feel like shelling out more$$$ to get a decent cockpit. judging by the level of detail you put into small things like the vents, be all means correct the fuselage issues (in my opinion) to complement your outstanding work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pzcreations Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 You just need to build a second 1. johan noway..you couldnt make me finally..gettin to some fun stuff..painting! yepee! this cockpit has been a little frustrating..the dashboard didnt wanna fit right. also, judging by photos the dash over it looks too big..or too tall rather. it could just be from the angles of the reference photos, but it looks too tall to me, and the windscreen looks out of proportions as well. The kit supplied HUD though was a real piece of crap..basically a chunk of plastic compared to the real thing. and Im completely surprised that Eduard didnt address it at all. They only supplied two roundels for the lenses on it. no bracket for the glass piece at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRutman Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Beautiful work goin' on here. Thanks for sharing man! You don't need to get any aftermarket stuff as I believe your skills are as good or better that their stuff brother! JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 That seat looks like it was right out of the 1/1 scale kit!! You are correct about the kit IP...it is too tall. Way too tall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 That's a sensational looking cockpit! And that seat is awesome. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Oh, I think the bottom front brackets are folded up under the seat when it is in the 'pit. Almost all the AM stuff in 1/48 and 1/32 have them extended. BB has it correct on their 1/48 instructions to have them folded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Eduard set says to fold them as well, but when I do that, the seat sits in a very awkward position..as of right now, how I have it sitting in the pit, it looks positioned just like the seats in the real photos. But I cant find any photos which show underneath when installed in the pit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
