The cockpit, ejection seat, and the instrument panel were detailed. Small disks were punched form 0.010 styrene sheets to form the dials and gauges. Styrene was used to make the head rest and seat cushions. Copper wire and metal foil was used to make the seat belts and the ejection handles. They were primed with Tamiya gray and painted with Vallejo Acrylics.
The completed ejection seat.
The kit was a straight forward build. Details were added to the wheel wells and the wing tank mounts were scratch built.
The canopy was polished and dipped in Future Acrylic Floor wax. Then is was masked and painted. The results look pretty good.
The engine nozzle was made from a plastic tube and styrene strips.
The decals were printed on a Alps printer.
Here is the finished model.
