The kit and paints only arrived at 6pm on Friday.

Started at 6:02pm

Fri 6:02pm - First, a quick coat of Matt White on all the sprues. This should give a good base for brush-painting the cockpit interior parts.

Fri 6:52pm - Next, the canopy clear parts were masked using Mr Masking Sol R.

Will leave these to dry aside.

Fri 9:06pm - Brush painted the instrument panel using Humbrol 226 interior green, and AK Interactive Gen3 Rubber Black.

Fri 9:06pm - Brush painted the seat using Humbrol 226 interior green, AK Interactive Gen3 Rubber Black, Vallejo Model Color Red Leather and Khaki.

The grooves moulded into the seat cushion made it easy to run some diluted dark paint inside.

Fri 9:24pm - The cockpit floor was first painted with acrylic Flesh colour. Then a thin brushing of Humbrol clear gloss varnish on top of that.

Wood grain effect was achieved with Tamiya brown panel line accent color (enamel), and quickly spreading it lengthwise.

Fri 9:27pm - Humbrol clear gloss varnish brushed onto the instrument panel, to prepare for applying the decal.

Fri 9:40pm - The instrument panel decal conformed nicely to the moulded dial details. Mr Mark Softer decal softener worked a treat.

Sat 2:37am - The left and right cockpit wall was brush painted with Interior Green.

Sat 2:37am - The kit decal placards add a nice bit of detail.

Sat 2:45am - Started gluing the cockpit into the fuselage halves.
