Since I'm ordering milliput to make the 'parachute/cushion' today I started rescaling the rest of the cockpit. The new seat is to scale. So this meant the control yolk etc. had to be to scale aswell.
I really didn't know how to tackle this one since Its straight lines not a curve which makes stretched sprue out of the question. Then I realized why not just cut the handles off.
So thats what I did.
I cut the whole thing apart. Sanded the box thing they are mounted to in the center down. removed about 1mm from them and reattached. Next I have to scale down the mounting. I just added them to it because it made it easier to reattach on something bigger than pencil tip!
Also lost a handle on the ground.....don't know how the hell I found it!
