Great stuff Vic. I don't normally use after-market cockpit parts, but I might just try that pack for my Meteor.

My thanks gentlemen, your all to kind.
Igor, it was an aftermarket PE from Eduard's which gave a couple of options for the panel, I chose an adaptation from both options.

Just winding up the final details for this machine and then we can start spraying.
These two shots show the internal detail just inside the lip of the cockpit.
Next up are the undercarriage legs, they were nice and solid and quite basic on the aircraft.
The canopy all masked up waiting for a party.
The beast stuffed and masked waiting the spray gun. As it stands at the moment, this will be delayed a few days due to the heat. It was a simmering 40+ today on our deck so inside the shed it would be melting point. Hopefully it is going to cool a touch next week.

Twas much cooler today so a bit of spraying was done. I sprayed the seams and checked them out and they are good. I then sprayed the fuselage tail band area Sky and if all is well will get the underbelly done tomorrow. Should also get some pics sorted tomorrow.
