Thank you all
Near the end, its more fine tuning now and not slipping on this work, the seats gave me hell but they are done added the pillows with milliput
, just paint now
and possibly a seat belt if I can string it in and not appear too thick, and they should be good to go, I decided not to cu
t down any more of the seats a
s they just cover up the spacing in the cockpit without further editing, and it would require excess work that would be tough now that the cockpit is zipped up. Many thanks to Terry for the pics of the Martin Baker Ejection Seat
and size comparison to a Q-tip,
and the real thing, Terry's pics:
There are a couple other ones I have all round from online sources if someone needs them for a future build don't hesitate to pm.
Next, the canopy, I decided to paint the other part of the canopy today and will separate and finish up the front end tomorrow if all goes well. So far, the missiles (AGM-45 I think), Wheels, and drop tanks are pretty much done
just one to two more coats of paint to cover some areas and should be good.
and canopy pics, was hard to get the "window" on both sides of the middle section but I think it looks good, I'll have to trim the section as close as possible to the real thing, but the problem here is that it is thick in the kit section so trimming it would reveal the cockpit part.
I need to separate the front tomorrow and replace it with my spare canopy section, then I'll have to ask my Father to stop by and get some Elmer's PVA glue so I can attach these pieces later in the build.
Real aircraft's middle section you can see its substantially thinner,
middle is highlighted here and you can see the thinness and windows, pic found online.
If I'm able to finish the canopy tomorrow I'll probably have a larger update ready
as it will go good, I hope I'm getting to finish this kit sooner
