Victor K2 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 You should finish more of your models now you are getting back into the habit ,you always had a "latest offering" to show when we were at Scampton before the Hendon assignment. If only my skills as a modeller had improved a quarter of yours over the years, then I would be a happy bunny. Now about that large scale Victor?

Derek B Posted May 11 Author Share Posted May 11 Having already assembled the cockpit (I started this kit six years ago, but was unable continue or complete until now), I found that I was dissatisfied with both the standard kit cockpit and the quality of the grey paint I had used to paint it with. Therefore, I ripped the cockpit apart, stripped it of paint and repaired it so that I could start again. I have attempted to improve the cockpit by adding my own scratch built details and rearranging the throttle panel.
