Wow... that is an awesome looking cockpit! I love the details on the seat and flooring especially. Let us know how the it fits... I keep hearing things about the fit of Aires resin parts.

Hello,
Cockpit completely done ! Now, I have to put it in the fuselage...

John, not very easy in fact... Like we say here :"ça ne va pas aussi bien que papa dans maman..." Oups...
The problem is that the resin must be glued with cyano and it's difficult to have the time to adjust something with the cyano... It glue !!! But, with some sanding here and there and with a little patience, finally the cockpit set fits relatively well.

Thanks for the fit update Steph! At least this fuselage assembly is modular. I would think this would make the fitting adjustments a little easier. Too bad the tubular flooring is covered so much... that was some awesomely painted detail!

 

[Airframes]

Nicely done Steph, it looks like something you might see at 'Cockpit Fest' !

 

[Catch22]

Thank you all for your nice comments
The cockpit is in the fuselage... Wings and fuselage assembled. I put some putty on the elevators to build them in early type.

 

[Crimea_River]

[Airframes]

Yep, progressing nicely.

 

[Wayne Little]
