You know I thought Tamiya had done pretty well in detailing the cockpit and it couldn't really have much added to it. How wrong I was!

 

Very impressive detailing

What went wrong with the original seat?

an unwanted chemical reaction

[Vincent 1,059]

funny issues with  the image hosting service, sorry about that

[Vincent 1,059]

Allright

 

I created my own mix of british interior green based on an original Hurricane part that i own from Tamiya paints. I also love to pick the details with Valejo paints so i had to make my own mix of Valejo colors to obtain the exact same shade as the Tamiya mix

 

It took a bit of time but i think i managed

 

The paint on the right (instrument support former) is the Tamiya mix and the green on the seat is Valejo mix

 

 

This picture shows nicely the replicated resin fiber effect of the seat

 

Now that the seat is drying, I'll tackle the undercarriage control block

Wow, the representative Bakelite seat looks wonderful!

Nice touch on your painting.  A real steady hand and well thinned paint.  Superb scratch-building.

 

Sincerely,
