Looking good Stik,
like a lot those scratchmade levels, sort of so simple construction, but looking so good!

Thank you Kari. I am trying to be as simple as I can with the scratch work to look the part without going overboard on my efforts.

Here are the rear cockpit sidewalls, dressed up w/ strip styrene, and the cut up console parts
right side
left side
rear cockpit "black boxes" modified & installed
rear IP emergency jettison handles- bases painted and handle portions added
close ups
then a test fitting with the cockpit tub and IP against each sidewall
and the front IP with jettison handle base painted and grab handle added
that's all for today... tomorrow I will take care of the front cockpit sidewalls and try to get some paint started...

Yes indeed... Now for the front cockpit and painting so I can get this all closed up and move to the next steps...

Re: Revell 1/32 F-4G Review & Build- update 10/2
Today's session was finishing up scratch work improvements in the front cockpit.
I added cut up console side wall details to both sides
as well as locking levers to the right side front and rear canopy sills/bars- the front you can see above
rear cockpit right side canopy locking lever
"black box" and map & binder holder added to front cockpit tub
and a test fit of the tub against the sidewalls
I'll let it dry overnight and tomorrow I can start on painting...

One thing's missing, Carlos. You can't have a ride like that and not have a cup holder.

Wiseguy! Seriously though. looking at a real F-4G cockpit and I have no idea where you could put one... it is so crowded in there..."Surely I have made my meaning plain?

Today I was able to do some airbrushing in the midday...
Gray
and Flat Black
then some test fitting
I'll start nickle and diming the detail work over the next several days when I can...
