Truth, Kevin. T R U T H.
I can’t believe how much negative commentary exists—
especially when it is from fellow citizens of the realm...
be they model builders or CGI modelers.
Closer!
Especially closer to the photo posted by Kari.
I think this as close enough for me.
I assembled one lap belt with white glue
(3 pieces... one hinge, two folds).
One more to go.
Then I have to redo the base.
It needs to be stronger.
I am tempted to fold the other belt over the side.
The same as the photo!

Charles Foster Kane!
I love that film—
Thank you. Sincerely.
I am still thinking about your canopy!
I’m holding my breath no primer is inside.
I just had a small Eureka moment.
Rather than beef up the metal cockpit floor—
Which is flexing at the joins—
I will remove the seat rails from the kit cockpit floor.

That is looking gorgeous!!! I agree with the others here,,,, ignore the static and keep doing what you enjoy. People making rude viscous remarks online need more fiber in their diet......

”Ignore the static” is now officially my mantra, Brent. Cheers and thanks!

I'm not sure that blob of sticky tack is to scale
Looking good Bruce!

That sticky stuff is strange—aging Silly Putty. I’m using that because my stockpile of kneaded eraser disappeared. Cheers, mate—and thanks again.

Thanks so much, Kevin. I feel the same way, truthfully. What next? I am going to dry fit the cockpit platform with the two parts used for the IP to see how the kit goes together. We need the long view of the forest, otherwise I am going to add flight controls next! Haha. Actually, yes yesss flight controls.
