Hello Everybody.

Here is a little UP !

First a made a better picture from the IP:

I now assembled the ejection seat.

Belts are not yet put in place

From the seat assembly I have one remark: the two pieces of rails have a big assembly joint that you have to fill.

Also be extra careful to dry fit everything.

I almost finished the entire pit, somme touch up needed here and there.....

So here are the pics:

Next step will be the undercarriage and the wheel well, but that's not for today.

Thank you everyone for looking.

Constructive comments and or questions always welcome.

Cheers,

Hi Steve.

Thank you for the nice comment.

Well, ....it depends your scratch building skills (don't take it on the bad side).

As I make an OOB build, I wouldn't make anything from scratch, but I think a ejection seat from one of the major AM company's will be a +.

The pit seems enough detailed (at least for me) as when the fuselage will be closed, you wanna see not so much of it.

I will use the kit decals, so it will be FX 12 (that's the one that is in the Brussels Air museum.

Thank you for looking.

Cheers,

Jamme

It's great you're doing an OOB build, so much as been written on the kit before anyone has even built it. It does look like an aftermarket seat in the stock pit will be enough for me.

Looking forward to the rest of the build.
