Are you talking about just the cockpit, like the old ESCI 1/6 cockpit kits? Or is it detailling a kit's front office?

Dominique, I think those ESCI (now Italieri) cockpits were in 1/12 scale--just the right size for some of my anime figures to fit into! Big Smile [:D]

Izzy, I would suggest your best bet is to start with some research. Get as many pics of the 'office' as possible and then start drawing some plans in a vector graphics or CAD program. When I started my Victoria SSK scratchbuild project I used a bunch of pics as reference and then drew the actual plans in Freehand MX (from Macromedia). Using a vector program allows for easier scaling--that way you could do it in 1/12 or 1/48, or 1/72
