Default RE: Viper Jet 2M Pointers/ tips.

It took me a long time to finish the cockpit, a lot of trimming and fitting.

From the scale pictures I noticed that the dash board was very far forward, something I tried to achieve.
It would have been easier to place the tubs where they naturally wanted to go.
I had to cut off the bottom front parts of the tubs, as well as the pilot's legs.
Painted the sills silk black, and used black silicone bath sealer to hide all my butchery.
I was inspired by Lozza's full size pictures where you sometimes see the passenger grabbing a handle as the pilot banks hard.
I will add some cockpit mirros made from old AOL CD's !

Turned out reasonable I think, but never again. I will either tint the canopy or just put a plate in the bottom of the canopy and use a "bust" of a pilot.

Pictures to follow as soon as I have cooked supper.
