When doing a build, a well finished cockpit seems to be vitally important. On a finished 'plane it's rarely the cockpit that is the interesting part. I've sneaked a few bits onto the sidewalls to break the plain surfaces, otherwise I think the top of the ejector seat is far more important If I can get the 'fitting the gun pod' thing right, I doubt the cockpit will be the focus of interest Richard It is truly a conundrum peculiar to aircraft modelling, hours spent on a pit that is later ignored, I tend not to get to worried about wheel wells for the same reason . Perhaps I am just less dedicated . One of the odd things I like about doing armoured cars and soft skins over "tanks" is the fact they have an "on view" interior .

Ssshhh, I'm trying desperately hard not to google 'fuselage trestle'. Those trestles have supported several WWI biplanes, they're not quite right for a Hunter Richard Out2gtcha and MikeC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
