Correction!!!

It was pointed out to me that I made a slight mistake.

Parts 13 & 16 are not suppose to be attached to the rest of the side consoles.

So I took them off and reprinted new one.

As you can see here, Parts 13 & 16 will be added to the inside of the outter skin later on.

A bit of food for thought. when starting ANY project, ALWAYS COMPLETELY READ THROUGH THE INSTRUCTION BEFOREHAND!!!

Please do not make the same mistake that I did.

@Silveroxide; I really like your suggestion. When I rebuild this model (maybe in 1:32 scale), I have plans on adding even more detail. I have found many more little areas that could be detailed out even further.

+++ German sitrep +++

Yes, of course! You are cordially invited to join us, mcusanelli! :thumb:

LGA (= Little German Astronaut :cool:) confirms what Rhaven has already said:

announce1 Do NOT attach parts 13 and 16. These parts are used much later in the build.

Since UHU had some problems with blurry pictures I give him some sharp ones here.

First we have some close-ups of the pedals, the seat and the headrest.

Funny that you should post this . . . I just printed it out today at approx 1:72 scale, and will be starting on it tonight.

The cockpit shots look great guys!

Thank you all:波:

A friend of mine has also started it.

http://ameblo.jp/aboyan1946/entry-11591384918.html

One is internal with. another One inside omitted.

He said when you own a diorama base.(like X-wing)
I'm looking forward to completion.
Hello, UHU! :wave:

Thank you very much for this gorgeous model and for posting here.

Greetings to your friend. His builds look wonderful! I am working on a portion of the Galactica hangar bay which is in scale with your Viper. I'd be happy to share it with you and your friend when it is ready.

I too am looking forward to seeing the finished planes.

Take care, have fun and enjoy!

Kind regards

Marcell

+++ German sitrep +++

OK, here we go with the last sitrep for today (or better: tonight :mrgreen: !).

Parts 27 - 36 have been successfully assembled and attached. I have added small tabs on some of them to give them a broader base for glueing.

Everything fits perfectly. It is a real joy building this model. Thank you, UHU! :thumb:

Now for all of the fun internal components (that for the most part, only the knuckle-draggers get to see).
