| Thanks  I could always use luck!On with the build. I started with the seat. I decided i won't be using the person and started making some seatbelts from masking tape. It's still rough and need work but it shows what i am going for.  I started filling in all the sink holes to get a good finish.  And finally the dash. I started to cut into it and made some rudder pedals. Its not perfect but i hope it will look good when its done.   Thats all for today. Patrick |

| Great start! You might be new to model aircraft, but I'm guessing you must have some modelling experience? If not, then bl**dy well done mate!!

| Looking very good Patrick. Is the control column scratch-built? It looks great for 1/72nd scale, nice work.
