While awaiting my head to get in the right place for the last of the covering, I installed the pilot to the faux cockpit floor. The pictures tell the story better than mere words:


Many of the items needed to fasten the pilot (right) to the faux cockpit floor (top).


Normally, I would just glue the pilot in with silicon caulk or canopy glue. I wanted this one to be removable in case the winner of the model wanted to personalize it. Here, the cardboard pattern is ready to attach to the pilot with double-faced tape.


Pattern stuck to pilot and marked for drilling.


Pilot drilled and screws started.


Cardboard pattern transferred to faux floor.

There are officially no further excuses that I can use to stall. The wing shall be covered.
