Nice fine detail on the IP ,ca'nt wait to see it painted!

Happy New Year to every one. Here's my progress over the last couple of days. All the detail has been added to the office followed up with a wash and weathering. I added a few drops of Klear to the instrument dials to give a glass effect. Still yet to add some seat harnesses not sure at the moment wether to go for scratch built or PE parts.

Thanks Guys,

I've made a start on the seat belts and harnesses using tamiya tape and some left over PE buckles followed up with some weathering. Here's some shots which include a dry fit of the office.

That office is nothing short of awesome Vaughan!

[Vaughan]

Thanks Guys,

Trey thanks for the compliment but you have to remember that this is 1/32 scale which does make life a bit easier. I've just had a look at your Ju88 you did a while ago I'm still amazed at how much detail went into the cockpit with all that resin plus of course all your painting skills and into the bargain the fact that it's 1/48 scale.

There might be a bit of a delay in further progress as this morning I managed to spill a bowl of freshly made porridge over my left hand resulting in a really bad scald. I was quick to get it under cold water and then an ice pack so there's only a small amount of blistering but it still did bring a tear to my eye as it's, excuse the swearing, bloody painful.

Ouch!!!!

That is going to sting a bit. Hopefully it won't be too long before you are back at the workbench.

Cheers
