Cockpit floor and walls
The basic cockpit area comprises of part 2 and all its subparts, including numerous formers. The fit is excellent but all parts have to be very carefully glued onto the designated areas for proper alignment.
The number of formers for the floor elevation of the pilot’s seat is overdone in my opinion, whereas the side console (part 2f) is a bit flimsy because of lack of reinforcement. I used a few strips of 1.0mm laser cut scrap to stabilize this part.
The last part is the inside cockpit lining and I was somewhat surprised how easily and accurately this part wrapped itself around the cockpit floor and ribs.
For edge coloring I have been using a simple grey marker and Tamiya neutral grey. The latter dries up a bit bluish and I may later on simply repaint it with the darker German grey.
