Jeff are you building the same kit??

If so that will be cool.

Here is the one I'm on about...

Several schemes I'm going to do the 'Operation AI' one.

Lovely work with the sidewalls; they look magnificent
Best wishes

More work on the cockpit...

I added some seatbelts the rest is out of the kit... Hasegawa gives the 1/48 Tamiya kits a run for their money.

The belts are from fine molds and are injected plastic. Which is a bit weird but works ok.. Everything is painted in Tamiya XF71 which is a zero interior green IIRC. I drilled out the lightning holes on the seat.

Cheers
