Out2gtcha Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Wow, that looks great Kev! I think it will look really good. The detail I think will look great in the end, especislly with the interesting nature of the airframe itself. LSP_Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Kevin Posted December 31, 2017 Author Share Posted December 31, 2017 Thanks, fellas. I've pretty much finished painting the cockpit interiors now, and am just working on the instrument panels. Once they're finished, I can actually button up the fuselage! Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted January 1, 2018 Author Share Posted January 1, 2018 So, the cockpit assemblies are now complete, except for one vital element: the seat belts! I've come to realise that I only have one set to spare, but I can't get hold of a matching set any time soon. Is it OK to mix Radu's standard beige and late-war olive green belts on the same aircraft? My gut tells me it's not, but would like to hear from you guys on the issue. If I can't get away with that, I'll have to shell out for two new sets of HGW belts. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 It's a converted aircraft, so why not? It's not like they would willingly throw good stuff away. And most military directives says stuff like "make the change once current stocks are depleted...blah, blah Enjoy! LSP_Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Kevin Posted January 1, 2018 Author Share Posted January 1, 2018 Nice to see this moving smoothly ahead, hope it stays that way for you Kev. Cheers Dennis Thanks, Den. Plenty of work to do yet, and I'll need to reshape the spine hump once the fuselage is together, and I'll probably have to fabricate a new canopy, too. The UMI conversion part is horrible.

LSP_Kevin Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 Kais is very generously sending me a spare set of Radu's beige seat belts, for which I'm suitably grateful. Thanks, Kais! In the meantime, I thought I'd post a token update just to keep this build thread alive. Firstly, here's a photo of the front cockpit, all finished except for the seat: I used airscale decals on the rear instrument panel. Just a reminder that the detailing and painting is almost entirely fictitious, and done for the sake of expediency, not accuracy. So, please don't follow my example! I'm pretty pleased with the way it looks, however. Sorry about the low angle - I've converted to using a tripod for all my photos at the moment, and while this clearly affords sharper images, it does limit the angles and perspectives I can get photos from. Here's the engine, looking like some kind of Transformers edition of the lunar lander: This will be almost completely unseen on the finished model, so I put almost no effort into it. I've taken the opportunity to start building the MPM 1/48 Fw 190S kit I have in the stash, as it seemed logical to build them in parallel: The box was getting quite damaged, too, which was another motivating factor in starting it. I might start a separate build thread on it in Non-LSP Works, if there's interest. Kev Kais, Gazzas, MikeMaben and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
