Happy New Year to everyone. Here's my progress over the last couple of days. All the detail has been added to the office followed up with a wash and weathering. I added a few drops of Klear to the instrument dials to give a glass effect. Still yet to add some seat harnesses not sure at the moment wether to go for scratch built or PE parts.

Ok, I just have to ask.... how do you get that level of detail on the instruments? If that is dry brushing, you are a god, dude! Simply beautiful work.

Thanks Guys,
In answer to your question regarding the dials dneid, I follow this method, as the dials are well detailed already you can get away with just dry brushing them, first I spray the panel flat black once dry I then dry brush each dial with flat white, then I fill each dial with masking fluid and then over spray with black again this makes the dials stand out really well. It's then just a matter of removing the masking fluid to expose the dry brushed dials. The rest of the detail such as switches and buttons are hand painted. A final careful dry brushing with silver and to finish off add some drops of klear onto each dial to give the effect of glass.
I decided to make the seat belts and harnesses using tamiya tape and some left over PE buckles. Here's some shots which include a dry fit of the office.
