Nice bit of work on the bang seat. As you say, the office does attract a lot of attention and any improvements really do shine out.

Paul, great work with adding the details to the bang seat! This will definitely make a huge difference as the cockpit area on these is pretty visible.

Had enuff of this silly game . Tamiya cockpit tub . My version, I did use reference to have something to go by and this certainly isn't close to real thing. I have missed about 40 dials and 5000 switches . Still need to make the driving stick and also add the activating handle to the bang seat

Paul, great job with the additions to the ejection seat. Certainly not much to work with the in that cockpit tub but you are bringing it to life! Also, what's the serial# of the one you are building? I wanted to look up the mission history in my reference.

Very nice Paul. That seat looks absolutely brilliant. You've gone to town with the detailing. I have one of these to build with my grandson. I can safely say, it won't have any extra detail added like yours. I've yet to make a start on my Falklands Build. I feel a bit embarrassed as I've still got the last two group builds to complete.

Chaps you are all too kind with your words . Today I finally got the primer on and the cockpit colour. I think the office colour is still too dark, so I might lighten that a tad tomorrow or I give it a light grey wash .
