Default RE: Skymaster F-15c

I did some basic work on the cockpit today.

#1: The parts supplied for the cockpit.
#2: The two seats were cut to lean a little backwards. The rear seat needs to be cut approx. 10 mm (3/8") shorter than the front seat in order not to go against the hood. I scratched off the paint of the cockpit floor where the seats were to be glued on.
#3: I mixed up some 30 minute epoxy with some carbon to make a black glue that will be less visible.
#4: I glued the seats to the cockpit floor using some scrap balsa as aid for the seats. The balsa was held on to the seats with dobble sided tape. The whole setup was taped down while the epoxy was curing.
#5,6&7: The finished cockpit ready for some scale detailing. I might just fit a pilot dummy to the front seat, and leave it at that. After all, it's an ARF..
