I have added the front plate which is unique to the Orange B. It has a notch for the Midway turret.
Now I finished to detail the cockpit by adding the small lights.
To recreate these bulbs, I used the tips of these Karl parts :
Then I glued to them some wires :
That was a tedious job, still some wires to add to the back wall but I'll do it later.
Some views of the finished cockpit :
The pilot with original kitparts for the head and arms (used the body on my Tydirium pilots, Bill George loves Tomcat pilots ! :lol).
I rebuilt the main guns with original kitparts and with some of the castings when I didnt know the origin of the original parts. This assembly was a casting on the real B's though. I prefer to have the Leo barrel in plastic, it'll be stronger, and one of my cat loves eat resin... (he ate the nose of my Red 4 :angry). He will probably not eat this one !
Rear area with the engines done.
Now that looks like a B-Wing !
Cockpit and rear cone glued. I removed the the resin armor plate and glued another one accurate to the Orange B.
Midway turret glued, I also used original kitparts for the lower cockpit assembly.
Thanks !
