Ditto on that. I already made the single seater and it was a breeze. The CMK resin parts need some adaptation but the basic kit is great.

I painted the cockpit in RLM 66. The whole black base is a bit new for me. So I did my best not to get full coverage but get a an irregular pattern. Now to do some detail painting, then a wash and before you know it I can close the fuselage up.

Interesting to see that CMK set popped into that little kit. Looking good Borg!

Still chipping away at that cockpit. I did some detail painting and coated it with Future as preparation for a wash.

Nice. I did this one a couple years ago. I used Eduard PE instead of resin. I see you use the CMK kit, which is the other route.

This is an excellent little kit. Have fun. I'll watch it come along!

And here is the result of the wash and flat coat:

Time to start glueing this thing together.

In all honesty, I only tried the whole black base thing because of the results I see guys like you and DoogsATX get with that technique. I am not exactly sure how it works but I like the way this cockpit has turned out.
