Euhm, that picture of skis and rigging that Bruce posted, is not mine, unfortunately!

I’ve seen quite a few splinter camo versions, curiously. I have not researched too much so far.

Nice work on your test.

Thanks Bruce, he certainly excels, the build quality is outstanding, details from another planet, really amazing!

Most of the time so far, that I have spent with this project, has been to research more information about the 1.D.357.

However, I started with the cockpit, or more precisely the cockpit wooden floor, the control stick, the compass etc.



The compass is a colored PE part, the glass is a drop of UV resin








Work with the seat cushion started as well




Finally becoming this:




The kit comes with very nice PE harness, so that will be the next step.

Very nice work Kari! The wood grain on the floor is fantastic! How did you do that?

All looking very good indeed!
