Well time for an update, but firstly thanks to all who have looked in.  Have dealt with some of the etch with reasonable results: The replacement foot pedals are in with one set painted to show the difference. I have also gots the seats ready for the seat belts, along with the cockpit consoles ready to be installed. Made up and ready for a coat of paint are the rear control stick and a small replacement box for the one removed from the rear bulkhead. (More on that in the next update). The final pic for this update shows the side panels for the cockpit. Part 22 on the left will have the control levers added in the large silvery square and a very small etch switch in the smaller one. On part 24 you can see a box section that I have added already. More soon. Regards delboy271155 (Derek) delboy271155 attached the following image(s): COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Apologies for the overdue update but here we are.  I`ve fixed all the panels and consoles into the cockpit area. Got to grips (very carefully) with the etch seat belts and have fixed the rear seat in place. Last couple of belt parts to fit to the front seat and then that can be fixed in place. Had my very first ever play with resin parts  and fixed them together after ages of cutting and filing/sanding. I`m happy with the result for a first attempt. Proof of the pudding is in the pics below. Regards delboy271155 (Derek) delboy271155 attached the following image(s): COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Nice work Derek, looking good. You've done a great first-time job with both the PE belts and the resin exhausts too.
Well done.
