Bruce, I finally had time to check in. What amazing work I find when I do. Your cockpit work is excellent! I can't even see where you had issues with the seat. Man, you rock Bruce!

I think a wash of Payne’s Gray ought to take away the flat aspect. Also I kind of miss the blue here. And Duke—the expression about “walking a mile in another man’s shoes” applies—I see your work in another light altogether. I mean I have lumps from CA which on a larger scale would disappear but here in 1/72 land those lumps are footballs. Viva la 1/72!
Make more models!

Yeah! 1/72!! God's One True Scale!
Now you know why I rarely use CA on any of my models unless absolutely needed. You are doing sensational work though Bruce; I'm proud and thrilled to see you building in my scale.

Man, you got some huuuuge hands!
Nice seat assembly. Don't put too much effort into it, a 109 CP in braille scale is tiny and will get lost in an also tiny black hole when the fuselage's closed.

Those who are able to put that much detail in 1/72 is highly impressive. I tried 1/72 a couple times but couple never quite get that pop effect I was looking for. 1/32 you could go crazy with the amount of detail you can put in but then you had to remind yourself that there are other parts to the kit. My hat is off to you sir!
