Lets go... I remodeled the pilot figure a bit using a Dremel, copper wire, copper late, spare profiles and PE parts. Hes supposed to sit on the Falkes mainframe - without belts of course.   |

Im quite happy with the pilots face In reality, theres no hard edges, the effect comes out more subtle.  |

Hi Mence. Youre welcome too of course  MaschinenKrieger kits are quite expensive. So you could expect some details in the Cockpit, can you? Nothing there but a seat and flat frame. Well, I was forced to scratch a bit then. Materials: >lead wire >plastic profiles >the PE Parts: -Eduard Hurricane Mk.IIB, 1/72 (rudder) -Aber Pedals, 1/24 -Eduard P-47D Thunderbolt, 1/72 -Eduard A6M3 Zero, 1/48   |

Thanks Dupes! Its almost complete. After a "homebrew" leather tone folled several washings, decent chipping (Humbrol Gun Metal), graphite powder treatment for the metallic look, detail paintng of course, the IP was painted and decaled... And so on. On the "cockpit still to do list":>side panels installation >IP installation >Cockpit will get a 1/35 fire extinguisher from Quickboost (details, details... hope it will fit) oh...and seatbelts of course! I think I take the "Sabelt" 1/24 belts  That should be all so far. |

You want more? Here it is... That were the decals I was talking about (bending problem). Anways - very nice IP.  ...as well as the cockpit!    Those screens are handpainted (kit features no decals here):   And the postman brought me this from another Ma.K modeller:  Thanks for watching! |

OMG ! Where do I start  The figure looks great, the pics show it much bigger than it is and it still looks nice ! The extra details look very cool to me, the additions of the cockpit really do add interest. The instruments ROCK ! |

LOL. Thanks... Damn, Im running out of lead wire because of the (excessive) cabling of the engine. A first impression...  |

Love it, the cabling doesn't look excessive |
