Good evening guys, long time to see but it is very hot here and daily visits at the seaside are mandatory not only to cool your body but also your eyes ....

Back to static modelling...
Well due to many parts involving the build of the rear cockpit i decided to deal with the front one first.

So i started with color, interior green, Mr. color 351 from the interior set of Mr. Clor



Future and wash...









It was my first time trying paint molded seat belts but i think i managed it. The color i used for that is citadel bleached bone.



Wash and dry brush...







...painting the small details...







Started placing every little bit in its place...

















...and with the seat dry fitted...

















That's all for now gents, looking forward for your comments and remarks, next project ''rear cockpit'', wish me luck.

Good morning mates, excuse my absence but things have been busy at work, new school year for the kids, etc. etc. so my modelling and free time has been redused for the time being... But i try to keep up with my build. This update has to do with the gunner's ''office'', a lot of work and patience....!!!!







This is the gunner's floor, the PE box has been deleted as it was off scale. I replaced it with the resign one...



The internal framing...





i started adding some detail inside the fuselage...



















Next it was the time to build the turret. I removed the kit's seat and i modify the framing in order to place the resin one...











And for the end a dry fit just to see how things are combined together...













Thats all for now guys, hope you like it, looking forward for your comments and remarks.
Have a nice week

John
