Teresa :-) Hi Teresa, thanks for the kind comments, much appreciated. Managed to do some more painting today try and get some more pictures tomorrow. Noted you were doing an 84G, got one of these to build as well this one has a big ed set with it so I'm looking forward to that build. Got to tell you the fit of these kits are some of the best I've ever come across so I recon you'll really enjoy the build. Regards Steve.

bigsteve Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 Hi folks, managed to get a little more done on the build. Got a little more painting to do and fit the belts and a little weathering. So here are a few pictures of the cockpit, comments and criticism welcome. Regards Steve. Girlscanplay2, LSP_Paul, Harold and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Paul Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Steve, looks great! The only thing I noticed is that you followed the instructions for the gear bay interior color. They should actually be Chromate Yellow per Republic practices at the time.. If you can catch it before you install them it will be easier to fix prior to installing them. Hope this helps. Keep up the fantastic work mate! Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep up the fantastic work mate! Paul Thanks Paul, your right I just followed the instructions which said to use interior green so like a plonker I did I'll get that changed today while I can. Thanks again mate, regards Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigsteve Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Great job on your cockpit Steve!! Keep up the great work! Teresa Thanks Teresa, I have to admit I am enjoying the build so far and thank god Paul noticed I'd followed the instructions and painted the wheel wells interior green and he kindly told me that it should be chromate yellow so I got these repainted before I did anything else, I'll get some more pictures taken so you can see the progress.
