Meteor f.mk.8 - building report

This week I finished painting and weathering the model and today I printed the model, sprayed the pages with protective spray.
And now it's time for building.

And as usual, I always start with the ejection seat.

Very nice Yoav. Looks good.

Did you use wire for the two handles?

wire only for the upper red handle.

I took HDMI cable.
inside the HDMI cable there are a lot of thin wires in all kinds of colors ... In this case I used the red wire, in other models I used the yellow wire.

That's a good start Yoav! Beautiful and realistic print details on the pilot's seat.

cockpit time.

On both sides of the cockpit there are all kinds of instrument boxes, so instead of building them in three-dimensional form with very small folds, I pasted them on a cardbord , cut gently the cardbord, and then painted the thickness of the cardboard with a gray marker.

for my needs it is enough and much simpler and easier.....Even so, the canopy is supposed to be closed and you can hardly see much.
