I've been doing some more printing to improve the access door. Crowbar will not be painted red !

The dashboard story.
Soo I originally settled my mind on using the kit IP. There are a lot of AM available, but I liked the definition and relief surface aspect of the kit one.
There is a few differences between the XVI and XIV, but I could get over it.
What I could not is the deepness of the instruments, so I elected to sand the back over a flat surface. Of course I managed to damage the instrument faces and render my sample unusable.
So back to my favourite software and getting an accurate XIV dashboard.
This unit has been stuffed up with airscale excellent instrument decals. Anyz, barracuda and airscale placards.
This part will be available as a downloadable file/print at home, or printed sample. But have to further refine it a bit for production purposes.

Seat assembly almost complete. Missing the lap belts and locking pin attached to the dorsal belts. Then fix the whole definitely
Wishing everyone a happy and awesome new year.

Finally some progress on this bad boy.
Nose is glued to left fuselage. The rest is dry fitted.
Cheers
