I have spent the last couple of weeks working on the cockpit.
Not being blessed with a 3D printer or the skills to operate it, I purchased the BVM cock pit kit, plus the Details for Scale A4 Gunsight This is a pretty labour intensive way to make a cockpit and does involve a bit of modelling skill The BVM cock pit parts are moulded resin, with the seat and tub from ply.
The various parts are hand fitted and then painted with an air brush. The wood parts need to be grain filled which takes time. The finest detail on the knobs and switches is added with a very fine artist brush.. My hands shake far too much to put in all the detail, but a bit of yellow and red added here and there adds some texture..
