Shallow opening for cockpit steps. Need to be careful here because the wall is very thin.
Making an opening for cockpit ventilation. Piping is already provided by ICM.
Adding missing vortex generators on the tailplane lower half.
Adding inner locking mechanism for cockpit glass and cutting glass out.
Adding details and modifying the pilot's sight.
Adding details to cockpit framing. They will be also used at later stage for fixing the windows.
Adding wiring to the cockpit.
Scratchbuilt mirrors for pilot.
All critical glueing were done with CA glue, including cockpit windows. This was done by leaving fresh CA to evaporate for 5-10 minutes before applying to plastic.
Dryfit of open cockpit.
More photos to be added.
