I will definitely be following this build Bart as I have this kit in my stash and I'm working up the courage to attempt it. Cockpit looks good so far. Are you going to use any after-market stuff?

Hi Gorby, nope not in the cockpit or any where else in this kit.... I will enrich the seats with scratchbuild items and I did also a little already for the airbreak. As i wrote this might be my first competition kit and I will present this one at the Scale Model Challenge in October.

Same as Gorby. I'm thinking of trying to build ejector handles by intertwining some yellow and black thread for this scale... Other options?

I'm looking forward to your build even more. It's mind-boggling and wallet-emptying the scope for after-market stuff for this kit. I bought the Eduard cockpit photo-etch and I'm determined not to get anything else for it. Having said that, I'm not looking forward to scratch building the seat harnesses.
That's a good idea about the ejector handles Playtime – not sure my fingers would be up to the job though. I have considered getting some of that plastic paper, that someone on this site told me about, and trying to print harnesses and ejector handles etc.

Ill have a look at it over the next week - was thinking that or thin coloured plastic. If I can find thread thin enough, pva glue to set it...
