First setp is to eliminate all the too deep engraved panel lines using CA glue
The cockpit was improved using plastic card
The seats were also improved
Better than before isn't it ?
Cockpit before painting
Dry fit with the seat
Here I painted the cockpit black but it is not correct, it should be light grey. Too late for me because at that time I didn't know that.
Pilot instrument panel done using decals
Front instrument panel side instruments
Seats are placed in the cockpit
Clear part dry fit
Adding the canopy frames
Frames painted black by brush
Mr. Surfacer as putty was applied
Here the model sanded and with a primer coat
Adding some access panels
Rivets were also added using a hasegawa rivet template
Main rotor still need to be improved
