I was thinking of taking part in this group build with an early Hasegawa kit.

Just one question: can a resin interior be used?

Absolutely!

Oh yeh cram it with resin until it bends mate lol

Okay, I think I should be able to post some pics.

I'm going to do the box top model. Always wanted to do the red, white and blue FSD aircraft. That way, I think I can use most of the Black Box F-16A interior kit and plunk the Stencil seat from the Hasegawa kit in place. I haven't done much yet as I'm painting kitchen cabinet doors, but they're almost done which should give me some more time for the model.

That box top one is an absolute favorite from my youth! Looking forward to it

Thanks Guys,

Been getting some stuff done around family visits, figuring out my boat motor and generally the "it's nice outside cutting of lawns and watering of flower beds".

A bit more done. Inside bulkhead pieces glued in place, panels filed and fitted to the best of my ability and the cannon area painted cuzz I like to do that sort of thing despite the fact that it won't be seen once the panel is in place.

Okay...the interior is all assembled and ready for paint...maybe tomorrow!

Ted Barrett · July 19, 2023

Sprayed paint on the interior and dabbed some red on the Stencil seat.

Yay! Finally getting some more progress done! Seat belts to be added and a bit more buttons and knobs to be painted but I hope to be able to close up the fuselage soon.
