Tuned into this one! I’m sure it will be another incredible build/paint!

Oh yes!!

Not much but I wanted to share more of a step-by-step with this one. Sadly Jason's decals don't help much on this cockpit as well there are different. These decals have long stopped since being decals so I am left cutting them out and attempting to affix them as paper basically.

This cockpit is cool though. It is predrilled at the back for 4 LEDs so its all self-contained. Then you drill the front of the pocket for your fiber to set in. Pretty cool concept.

One of these kits will be for sale as well. Built into the livery of your choice. So if anyone is interested best to get in now before its made into what you dont want.

Very nice work! Love watching the work in progress - it's a great 'tutorial' being able to see the various layers going on. Thanks for posting!

Thanks everyone. I’m trying to have some of what go between anh and Rotj and the archive pics that are left of it.

Fwiw this is entirely the new acrylic line as well and here is the palette I chose. Is it the right one I dunno. Looks good to me.
