Looking very nice, I love the cockpit details

Maybe you can add some subtle wear and tear on the engine (some metal scratches etc) but that's just my thought, it looks great as it is

Hi Steven
That's not bad idea at all. I shall take it on board and find some pictures (if there is any) of engines and try not to mess it up lol.
Thanks

Not much to say there.
If I can say with out getting boohed at a couple of the seams could have been a bit better befor the paint went down.
The Paint is very good and well weathered. Great job on the canopy it looks like you might have missed a few frames though. Although they could have gotten worn off in handling.
A great job all round. Good photos as well.
Dont feel bad. I had to look long and hard to find the few things I did. But if this was your first, I would love to see the next offering.

Hi Ian
Thanks for Your input. Your Sir are absolute right, just spotted worn off canopy frames, lesson learned I will see if I can somehow fix the outside ones but dont want to go too fare as I can make it even worst lol.
Thanks again and appreciated Your input.

Hi Matt, In my humble opinion, excellent job on the cockpit details and overall paint appearance. As you may already know, the framing of the canopy could be done more neatly. The canopy itself is not the best quality. The plastic is too thick and distorts the light passing through. A vacuform canopy that you buy online would I think look much better. Look also for precut vinyl masking. If its available, the frame painting would be much easier.

That's a superb build. Flawless cockpit detailing, very nice work.

Hi, you are right with canopy as it was my first plain loads of mistakes made and learned a lot . I had vinyl masking but did not varnished it and it came of when touched. Thank you.
