Wow this is going to be choice,lurking on the sides and anxiously awaiting the start!

[Guest]

right then .... made a start...

Got the components added to the main floor, the instrument panel is very well detailed ... the decals are nicely detailed but i may use a combination of paint and decal.

The seats come with moulded belts, am going to paint them first to see what they look like, if they don't appeal i'll do my foil leather simulation and add some masking tape belts

and of course what kit would be complete without some flash and bobbly bits

Nice start Colin.

[Guest]

Ok then, this is where i am .....

Got the interior built, i had a shifty on t'intergoogle and apparently the seats in this version are the hard plastic covered foam variety so doing the wrinkled leather look wouldn't be right, they're just a dull black smooth type.

I've added some sheets and some bandage rolls here and there in an attempt to have it looking like it's half way through being tidied up after a rescue/mission.

The panel is a mixture of paint and decal detailing.

Two unobscured shots of the panel

Like a plank i didn't prepare the surface of the main fuselage before i fitted the windows, now i have to mask them somehow before i give it the bird-grit method. ... they look like this anyway

This instrument panel is attached to the inside of the rear cabin.

Your doing a cracking job so far Colin keep up the good work and keep the pictures acomeing

[colin m]

Great progress, the bandages are brilliant.

[Guest]

Your romping on with this one mate. Nice progress.

[Guest]

Thanks chaps.

the next few steps in the instructions deal mainly with the body and the whole model makes a big jump into looking like the end result.

The interior was a bit of a struggle to fit in body shell so a little trimming was required, the body shell fits reasonably well but will need a bit of filling and sanding along the seams (tippex will do nicely), the kit has a fair bit of rasied detail so a little "after care" might be required to put the detail back in.

this is where i'm at
