vf-1 cockpit build up?

[jonn13]

I am just getting started on a vf-1s, I was wondering if anybody has any pics of cockpit build ups?

[Grayson72]

These two are the only one's I have. I painted a base coat on, then did an oil wash and then did a highlight dry brush.

Hey Jonn13,

There was a thread about this a little while ago, check here;

That does help. Thanks.

Any good places to find cockpit line art, etc?

I am doing the "DYRL" version.

I know this isn't lineart but it can help with the cockpit paint details.

Well speaking of details for the cockpit. I'm having trouble figuring out exactly what to do with the P.E. 'Joystics' (sorry can't think of what else to call them right now) from the Hase. P.E. set.

Am I supposed to cut off those two stubs of styrene infrot of where the instument panel sits? Can anyone tell me wkat it says inthe bottom right corner of this pic?

[Grayson72]

Well given the actual size of those blocks I'd say they want you to cut them off and then drill a .5mm hole for the Photo Etch parts.

Look at the second pic I posted, I don't think they'd want you to put those parts on top of those blocks.

Oh! that's what that symbol must mean Thanks grayso. That is what I was going to do, but then saw this thread and figured someone here would know.

good point!

Can you have the f.e. parts and a figure in the cockpit?

Anyway to make that work?

Well, they all fit in at the same time, if that's what you mean... getting the pilot to hold the sticks may be a little more of a challenge... ;-)

I'd save the PE parts for when you want to display the canopy open without the pilot in. The pilot takes up quite a lot of space (you can't really see around the pilots arms to the side consoles anyways. The pilot's hands already have a partial stick molded onto them as though they are gripping them already.

I have not looked that close to the pilot yet.......cool.

I did use the f.e. part for the seat (on top) and plan on using the

one in back. I guess that's fine.

I used tape to hold down "Roy" to get his arms just right.
