Uncarina Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 One of my favorite things to look at in an airplane is the cockpit, regardless of nationality or era. All of the intricacy and evolving design fascinates me. For that reason, I especially enjoy working on the cockpits in my builds, even thought they will be obscured to various extents when finished. Similarly, I love looking at the work others have put into theirs. I thought it might be worthwhile for us to share the cockpits of our various builds in one place, as opposed to digging into the various WIP's out there. To get things started, here are a few of mine: F-117: Ki-45 Toryu: HO-229: P-40E: Sopwith Snipe: P-47D: Hawker Typhoon: A-6A Intruder: F4U-1D Corsair: Cheers, Tom Chek, jimbo, R Palimaka and 23 others 25 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out2gtcha Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I love pits! One of the coolest areas you can model IMHO. Tons of chances for detailing additions. A few of my favorites..............

pennausamike Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) Given the amazing work shown thus far, if there isn't a minimum quality standard, I'd offer my Revell F-4 cockpit. I put a lot into to it to have more than six sides and an open view into the body of the model. There is a lot of scratchbuilding to create a COMPLETE cockpit, more so than an accurate one. This is meant to be a conversion of a recon Phantom I bought at a toy liquidators for seven bucks to an F-4E , many years ago. Edited April 18, 2020 by pennausamike D.B.

Dragon Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Great idea and amazing work everyone! I went looking through my WIP pics, and surprisingly, I only have one pic of a cockpit I've done. It's for the Tamiya F-4J, that still sits on the shelf of stalled projects. Daniel Leduc, Ryan, Anthony in NZ and 16 others 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbk57 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Me too! I love cockpit detail. Nice work on the above. That to me is one of the strengths of LSP. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Palimaka Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) Cool idea. awesome work everyone! I also love cockpits and trying to dress them up. It's really the heart of the whole aircraft. This is the only one for which I have photos. It's the Airfix 1/24 Mustang cockpit stepped up a bit.

Barry Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Here are pics of the only cockpit I have painted. It is my loooooong stalled A-7D build. Maybe one day I'll get back to it after I finish then 1/16 Abram Tom got me started on 4 years ago!

Uncarina Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 This is great. Thanks for sharing everyone! Barry, you could put that cockpit by itself in a display case. Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmthamade Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 All great examples, guys!! I'm consistently bad with pits. Used to try to paint/detail, sometimes painting/stripping 6-6 times. Now they get one and done, I will spend time on the seat, though. Confession time, some of the builds in the display case have all black pits....EVERYTHING!!!
