Shawn M Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 whole lotta bench time over the weekend! Started with the missing blukhead/frame for the pilots seat once that was done I knew the spatial confines for the next console. Lots of scratch building but I was able to modify and reuse some parts of the kit detail..granted very little more mpk, sandokan, ghatherly and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn M Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 then I shot it all in black then a whole lotta greens were used...like 3 or 4 at this point my wife asked...."so this whole thing will be orange and green?"..she's not too far off but of course I said no there's a lot more to go! thats where I left off. Time to build out the seat belts and then start the fuse work so I can build a new IP sandokan, Menelaos, shbemo13 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RNoAF Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Cool ac. Where can i get one these days? Shawn M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn M Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 Thank you everyone RNoAF, good question. My brother in law got this one for me on Craigslist for $5, I would check Ebay as it is no longer in production. Im pretty sure you can get the Hasegawa 1/32 version still.

Shawn M Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 Started laying out the floor and firewall last night to determine locations for sidewall details and what will be seen. I need to detail the back of the firewall since you can get a glimpse of it looking forward. I got the "bungee cord" for the seat completed and will get the belts done too. Added some gizmology to the black boxes in the cockpit and finished the weathering. Pics soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
