Guest Vincent Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) One thing that Tamiya did not put much effort in is the seat mount. I decided to redo it, with rivets and lightening cuts I'll return to the cockpit left side as soon as the mount is finished Vincent Edited May 17, 2019 by Vincent/MDC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Vincent Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) From time to time it's good to test if everything fits properly : It does, so work continues Edited May 17, 2019 by Vincent/MDC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Vincent Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Hi From Tamiya we are getting this part : Which is perfectly reproduced...for a Mk IX. But it's not correct for a VIII The cockpit left side is packed with electrical cables and the part is in the way. I decided to rework the area. I get the stiffeners to go down : Make a new part correct for the VIII: Test fit, everything is ok : Next will be the cable and line guards on the "floor" part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
