Nice job mate. The throttles do look nice. How are your finding the Dragon PE? BTW, the kit PE seatbelts are actually really good, so it is worth it looking at it. If not, they are great for the spares.

The only 262 to not have a gunsight was the recon U3 version that I did. However, some U3s did have gunsights, depending on where they were built. I have a spare Me 262 gunsight, so if you want one, send me a pmOriginally posted by \

Also, I hate to tell you this mate, but the cockpit colour is definitely not RLM 66. dragon's colours are often questionable, especially in their aircraft kits. Unless you are using white light, and that is making things look lighter, RLM 66 was a very dark grey

Do you think I should add one then John?Originally posted by \
What's it like and how much do you want for it?
On your original advice I bought some Edward belts so I may use them, regarding the cockpit colour I wasn't sure what to do but loosely followed dragons kit. Not much I can do about it now I have seen quite a few shots with the lighter grey colour so I went for it, I think the bright light may be making it look worse and when the fuse goes round it probably won't look to bad... I hope.Originally posted by \

I will tell you in a pm, and entail the details.Originally posted by \
No problems. I have done this before a few times, so you are not alone. On the other hand, you are probably right, it must be the light. A matt coat and a dark cockpit should tone it down a bit once the fuselage closes up

A little more done, I have been trying to source some suitable cabling for the instrument panel and tried a few different mediums before settling on some old earphone wire. Not the ideal colour but used red and green to add interest, again no real reference photos for this particular variant so feel I have a bit of a free run.
Pleased with the Eduard pe belts which I have weathered to make them pop and think they look really decent.
Another few sessions and I should be out of the tub... Looking forward to it now.
As always any comments/critique welcome
Cheers
Phil

Some dry fitting, a Matt varnish and a wash should help control the high sheen on the cables

Looks good mate. Good to see you are following the referencing I gave you about the wiring looms. Also, for the KG control stick, you got the top colours the opposite way round. Metal/silver for the gun cover button cap and RLM 66 for the surrounds. BTW, the interior colours look a lot more better now, with less white light.
Next time you use the PE seatbelts, try to make them look less "bent" and more "crumpled". I often drop three minuscule drops of cyanoacrylate on the reverse of the belts to make it sit more realistically, especially on the back. For the lap seatbelts, I do the same, but attach it to the seat before the seat is installed. Otherwise, the weathering looks good
