ironman1945 Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 And here is the starboard side of the cockpit. So far so good... enjoying it so far. More to follow! Dave/Ironman1945 shbemo13, sandokan, Iain and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennismcc Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Hopefully this will spur on the manufacturers, if not it's still great to see. Cheers Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chek Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Very nice work on your model. Although I have to confess I'm thinking of getting the new Airfix 1/48 version just for the pleasure of fitting four properly aligned Master brass .303 barrels in the turret.

mattlow Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Now if you want Defiant gun turret details this will be a great help. It's also a fascinating bit of archive history... pretty complex system on the Defiant (for its time). Matt sandokan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironman1945 Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 Thanks for that Matt. I actually have it bookmarked from long ago when I started this project. The turret will prove to be a challenge but I'm looking forward to pushing my limits. It will be next up after I finish the cockpit. Man, who would want to be a turret gunner in a Defiant? The odds couldn't have been good if you needed to bail out! Dave Zero77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 This is awesome! I keep hoping for a 1/32 Defiant, looks like your vac is the only way to go. Looking forward to seeing this progress Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironman1945 Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 A bit of progress. Finished the pilots seat and the receptacle for the control column, which moved with the seat when the seat height was adjusted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironman1945 Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 Some shots of the pilot cockpit sidewalls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironman1945 Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 And preliminary work on the movable rear deck aft of the turret. Had to replace it since the profile of the kit rear deck was way off. That's it for now. Hope all is well and have a great week!
