Thanks guys! I think that painting cockpits are one of my strong suits.

Certainly is!

What he said! Wow! Looks like the real thing!

And to throw another wrench in the mix: how hard would it be to apply the seatbelt decals to the molded in seatbelts? That way you get the depth as well as the realistic appearance.

So my wife had a weekend long art fest at the building her studio is at. Happens every year at this time. I've been bring kits with my to work on and this time I brought the Hornets with me. Built up the fuselages, intakes and noses on both. Couldn't do anymore and have them still fit in the box but I made significant progress.

At my wife's studio, my little work bench.

Looks like you made good progress there Mike!

Thanks Stuart! Yeah I did. Hoping to get the tails on today.

Love the side by side aspect of this project!

That rocks Mike! Looking great so far too.

Thanks guys! Adding the outer wings now.
