Thanks everyone.
Terry, this wingtip seemed actually worse than the others as I don't remember having to do this much work on my IX. These are different tips which extend into the reduced-length ailerons used on the Mk VIII so they may actually be thinner than the IX molds.
Anyhoo, I didn't get as much done today but some fiddly work was done nonetheless. First off, the throttle quadrant was painted a bit more and a wire to the lamp was added on the left side. Also the beginnings of a black placard can be seen over the throttle, done with a 0.5mm artist pen.
The starboard side saw the addition of the light bulb rack and the oxygen regulator tank made of a hunk of sprue with aluminum foil tape straps. The oxygen hose is a piece of solder which I rolled on a file to get the spiral pattern. Although not as convincing as guitar string, this method is much easier to work with, the guitar string being quite hard to bend. Also added was the red lever at the oxygen valve.
I also worked on the IP a bit and it's shown below partly done. Those famous finger print marks molded into the instrument cluster plastic were removed to the best of my ability by scratching a round-edged blade over them. Some more details have yet to be picked out and then some more Future dabbed on the bezels.
Here's the seat which is a resin unit by Ultracast, the second of a package of two that I picked up when I did my Mk IX. The straps are molded into the resin but I'm not happy with the paint job just yet. The upper portions which have been threaded through the armoured frame are made of Tamiya tape and these need to be painted anyway.
So that's it for today. A bit more detail work is needed before I get the fuselage haves together and we'll see how it goes during the week. In the meantime, thanks again for your interest.
