Necrobump. Two requests about this build today. One, to restore the pics (done - had to change the URLs to my new domain). Two, request for paint info for the cockpit interior. As far as I know, there are no public pics of the cockpit interior. And, before you ask, no - I don't have any private pics, either. My best guess is the cockpit is too cramped for ILM to have finished it out. So, basic dark grey / black was the color I applied inside the pods for the pilot and gunner. The detail part visible is in the figure's hand - not planted on the cockpit interior. It's a greeblie from a Bandai armor kit of the correct vintage. But, not accurate.
Just noticed this post. Well....they were rushed. But, they cover the studio mount points. In any event, these parts couldn't be offered in resin with the kit; too thick. They'd have to be vacformed, which probably makes them impractical to include.
