You sure are turning this into a better looking figure!

I apologize brothas, I dumped the figure, it remained too soft in detail. Now I'm fiddling seatbelts together, I'm half way and I think it looks ok enough.  |

Don't worry too much about the figure Guy, many of us bin them because they just aren't up to it  . Nice office work though  |

Understandable about the pilot, Guy. This kit was first released in 1995. The pilot figures were not like the standard they are today.

Yep older kit figures do leave a lot to be desired. Nice cockpit.

Most aircraft kit figures are found wanting for detail.. then found in the spares box |

I'm glad I didn't move on with that old 1:48 scale figure, certainly now I know that you flyboys bin them most of the time too.💥😄 I scratched the seatbelts and next time I'll check if I can add extra detail to the seat itself and the rest of the office . I grabbed my giant fake hand and here it is. 😄  |

Thank you chaps, it's not much but it's something. The harness was brushpainted with enamels and metal acrylics steel and silver for the highlights.  |
