Hey all,
I have been meaning to start this build for a long while now. Agostini did an amazing job in designing this model. The printed details are great and look impressive in this scale. I'm not planning on doing an full on construction log with this, just the major steps.
Here is the kit cover page
There are many former pieces to glue onto heavier card. * denotes 0.5mm card, and ** is 1mm card.
Right now, I'm working on cockpit components.
I decided to start with the seats
I then went about making all of the bits and pieces that will fill in the cockpit. This includes the control sticks, seat ejection handles, head rests, lower instrument panel (go between pedals), and the HUD.
I also built the cockpit tub and added the teeny weenie throttles.
The last bits that I have finished so far are the instrument panels (front panel w/ HUD installed), rudder pedals, and the two main wheels. I still need to sand and form the wheels into proper shape.
The only issue I am having so far is that a few of the pieces are no where to be found on the instruction diagrams. Specifically parts 125a, 134a, and 104. I know that they all go in the cockpit, and that 134 is likely part of the seat belts, but none of them are in the diagrams. I tried to find the parts in Agostini's build thread here, but the pictures are no longer visible. if any of you have built this kit and can help, I'd appreciate it. I sent a mesage to Agostini the other day and am waiting for a replay.
