More updates...cockpit and buck from scrap packaging.
The buck was made by gluing the cockpit glass pattern with the tabs out, painting a layer of white glue on the inside and once dry, filling it with Aves Apoxiesculpt (or you could use Sculpey or Fimo). Once the material had set, I soaked it in water to remove the paper and sanded it smooth.
Normally, I would have mounted the buck to a tall piece of plastic (like a Mentos tube)and then heated the piece over a candle and pull it over the buck. However, I had purchased a 1963 Mattel Vac-U-Former and wanted to try it out. When I cut the glass out, I left a tab in the front and back to help it stay in place (I will glue it down when the model is finished).
Also pictured it the port upper intake; placed but not glued down.
