And here it is, and does it make the plastic dust fly!

On to the cockpit
Here is a before and after cleanup of one of the seats showing just how rough these parts are

The right side cockpit walls. Some molded in detail and 3 added boxes. The left side (not pictured) only had the molded in detail.

The rest of the cockpit parts except the stick, and the panel which looks pretty good

I will be adding some bits of wire here and there and it should be good enough for closed canopies. I have a lot more work on the fuselage halves before I can get the pits installed

Nice work Glenn

Yea, I know, but it's just sitting there, a challenge begging to be worked on

I see you got your wood rasp out for this one

Very Hobbycraft-like

You did a nice job with that cleanup Glenn.
