Hey! That’s some nice work! Good job getting the cockpit fit issues sorted out, nice catch on that. Cockpit looks great in there. So much detail, too. I gotta say, I’m coming around to resin. I really am. Cockpit sets like these are so nice looking.

Thanks guys!

Kenny, I love using resin and PE. It really makes it look better most of the time.

I’m not about resin for everything in the ‘pit, but I do LOVE resin seats with the molded on belts and buckles.

Jets like these scare the pants, well bejeebers anyway, off me. So many little nooks and crannys to worry about. You are a true talent!

That office upgrade looks fantastic! The RF4C I cobbled together took a bit of doing to get the Aires resin in place... Are you going with the kit Martin Baker boomchairs or the Brassin ones? I had to piece together a Brassin rail and horse head with the Aires seats. it also took a bit of shaving to make them fit correctly with the canopy closed (of course that was 1/32 vs 1/48)
