Joe Osborne Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 Very nice work Joe! The pit looks lived in and not trashed , perfect! Hope you had a great Vacation! Paul Thanks Paul, I've been around some Vietnam era aircraft and have looked at a lot of photos. Maintenance was done under combat conditions and things were kept clean, but worn and faded a bit. That is the look I'm trying to capture. LSP_Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Osborne Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 I have the wolfpack seat too but have been eying off the quick boost version. I wonder if being an aires sideline sort of offering if it is the same size as the aires seat ? Anyway hope to join in the gb soon. Hmmm Joe, I hadn't seen the Quickboost seat. Are the seatbelts molded on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Hmmm Joe, I hadn't seen the Quickboost seat. Are the seatbelts molded on? Yes they are. I think it's a fairly recent release. QB 32147. I bought one last night on ebay so I'll post some comparison pics of that one and the wolfpack seat when it arrives. LSP_Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmperorKai Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 OK, back from vacation and finishing the pit. A BIG THANKS to Kai for providing his step by step instructions in his F8 build thread on his cockpit weathering. These were invaluable to me. I used MIG pigments in dusting this up and I'm heading off to a graphic arts store today to get a selection of pastels as I think they will do a better weathering job in the future (finer grind). So have finished most of the pit, put in the MG and have started buttoning up the fuselage. Beautiful work Joe- very nicely done! I'm very pleased to have been able to share, and more so that you have done such a marvelous job. Keep up the great work and looking forward to more Kai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
