. Hi Guys, I started this build man many years ago. I had done most of the seat and primed a few parts.

I have now added the ejector handles and sprayed up the seat pads. I yet have to paint the gas bottle on the side of the seat.

I also re-sprayed the tub and the instrument panels in a different grey as I don't know which paint I had used previously.

So this is where Im up to on this one.

Cheers guys for the nice comments.

I have spent a little time on the switches etc. Not really much to say on this part.

Excellent work Chris, with some nice 'drybrushing' on the detail there which really makes it all 'pop'.

Very well done, looking good. Cool ThumpUp

Thank you so much for the comments guys.

I have spent a few hours today doing some more. I have made the Head up display, panted it and dry brushed.
I also did the lower of the main panel, painted and fitted it. Plus painted the gas bottle on the seat.

I placed the seat in position just to see how it looked.

Finally finished her.

I installed all the seat belts and put all dials on. I first gave it a few coats of Pledge then a quick wash. I then put the decals in place and gave it a semi coat.

I built the rest of the instrument panel and glued the seat in place.
