It's been a nice build so far, not a lot of progress lately. But, I got out the Nikon instead of the cell phone, so better pictures to share. And......working on this. Comments, suggestions, critiques......post away! Thanks Brett MikeMaben, Gazzas, LSP_Kevin and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curiouslysophie Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Wonderful work! Such beautiful detail. You’ve inspired me to pick up one of these kits. Can’t decide between the birdcage or the 1D. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you see something I've done wrong, please don't be shy.....tell me so I can fix it! Minor update, O2 tank painted, decaled and installed. Not too thrilled about the bands that hold it to the bulkhead, so I may do more work on them...... Also, added the red "Caution...." decal below the head rest (I should get that done!). Thanks again for looking. Brett Fvdm, The Madhatter, LSP_Kevin and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how weathering the rear bulkhead will be, but I'm sure I'll add some chipped paint or scratches....somewhere. More minor updates for today. Unfortunately, I still haven't found the HGW seatbelts in the US. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to look? Seat assembled, some chipping added. I will probably take some of the Tamiya weathering pastels to add more wear through the paint where the seatbelts would rub against the seat. I decided not to do much else with the bands on the O2 tank, since it won't be very visible once the fuselage is closed up. And headrest....Tamiya calls for grey for the headrest mount. I haven't found a good picture that show's different. Any opinions here? As always, comments, critiques, "Brett, you've screwed up, change XXXX" are all welcome! Thanks for looking.
