I'm working up the nerve to paint the cockpit now I've grabbed a few references, as it's been a little over a year since I did any proper airbrush work. I'll leave that to cure for 24 hours and then paint the rest of the parts. I've given the oleos a coat of Mirror, and also dosed the reflectors for the landing lights in the pylons while I was there. If I've misunderstood the function of the "tube" as I'm calling it, someone please tell me! I also trimmed off the little drain under the nacelle fronts so I can get a better finish under there, and I've drilled a hole for inserting some fine tube later. Those were just pushed into place for this pic. Sharp panel lines wouldn't come out of the mould afterall I'll get the Dymo tape out later and give them a rescribe before I glue the nacelle fronts on. A couple of doses of sanding later and they're nice and flat, but I also noticed that the panel lines further up the sides are a bit faint due to them being on the curve. The engine nacelles moulded into the wings have a seam that runs front to back, which isn't there on the real thing, so I had to fill those with some CA.
