Outstanding weathering! The model looks unbelievably real.

Well, I have been quite busy with other things lately, so I am making slow progress. I have finished all of the detail parts in the main cockpit assembly as well as the left side interior wall.

Here are a few shots after glueing up the left side wall to the main cockpit assembly. The tiny, fiddly parts of the cockpit are extremely time consuming. Now on to the other side...

Very nice job on the fiddly bits

It's a shame that all this detail will dissapear when cockpit is closed...
At least you will still have photos

That is a really beautiful cockpit Gordon. Nice job.

Yeah, I thought about leaving out some of the parts because they will be difficult, if not impossible to see once the cockpit is all closed up - but I would feel like I cheated, and would never be able to sleep at night. And, you're right, the photos are a nice documentation and record of the cockpit interior.

As already members mentioned, impeccable cockpit parts!!!!!!!!!!

My latest progress on the "Hayate": the tail section of the fuselage. Although the cockpit is not yet fully complete, I could not resist beginning work on the rest of the fuselage - to me, this is the most fun part. Here are a few pictures of the assembly, and a few "dry-fit" shots with the rest of the model.
