    I've made a start! Best photo of cockpit as it comes out the box, messed up the decal instrument panel and seat belts, maybe not the best ones to try out Micro sol/set on first time around! So ended up painting the instruments, and will get a seatbelt to add to the seat.

    The box ix open, the parts all cleaned and drying and the cockpit parts sprayed with grey primer- it's a start! next a coat of black before the green to show as shadow in the cockpit.
