Thanks Guys. Still working on it. I think I'll finish the front half and then I can concentrate on the Navigation section. I have most that in pieces. I'll just need to marry up the fro t and back once I'm done.
Stevestarkiller I saw your 3d model of the cockpit. Awesome work. Did the ESB version volvo panels have lights?

Did a little more skinning of the outside canopy. Put a ruler in front to give you an idea of the size of this beast.

Also had a test piece to see how krystal clear with some glass paint (blue, red, white and yellow) will work on the panels.

Hey Iz,
LOVED the vid! I cracked up at your "...so many pins and switches..." comment. I feel your pain. The pin striping looks fantastic!
If you already sprayed the panels with a clear Gloss, you should be able to simply spray with a clear Satin without issue. I would practice on a scrap piece before anything else - use light passes as not create build up. The Satin should knock down a majority of the reflection and give you the look you're going for.
Looks awesome, my friend!
