In the flying seat!

 Just a finishing touch to the cockpit with the application of some panel line wash to highlight the detail. It probably will be unseen but it was something I thought worthwhile doing as I would know it was done!

In preparation for the placement of other parts of the fuselage I had to smooth the joint between the two halves. Doing this obliterated part of a recessed panel line so I had to reinstate it. A piece of masking tape highlights where it should be and the very thin razor saw was used to 'cut' in a new panel line along the edge of the tape.

The beauty of this kit is that it is relatively simple with only a few parts so you see some results fairly quickly. It already looks like a plane! That model pilot is probably hoping he will be flying something other than what I have built! No such luck for him though. He just needs a bit more painting and he will be in the flying seat!
