Got some more done on a Sunday night. All cockpit details were painted, I applied the Tamiya decal to the bottom of the instrument panel, and began assembly of the cockpit. Will need a wash and a little weathering but it's looking good so far!

Cockpit is complete, and since it's a Tamiya kit the fuselage is together and the wings are together. More pictures to come tomorrow but for tonight here is the cockpit with guns and sight attached.

Stupid question. The seat to me it looks like pink?

Lighting or lack off. Check post #27 and we have a brown seat back.

Real nice work Dave.

No pink, the bottom metal part is gray green, the back pad is Tamiya buff. I dry brushed it with a burnt umber oil paint to resemble some New Guinea mud and dirt, and the buckle on the Quinta seat harness has a piece that looks reddish pink on the end of the buckle, so has to be a trick of the light.

Since it's a Tamiya kit, the rest of the kit pretty much fell together without any filler required. I gave it a couple of light coats of Tamiya AS-12 bare metal silver.

How do you find that painting stand Dave (it's a Tamiya, right?). Looks the job for keeping kits off the deck when painting.

Works well for this type of painting.
