Thank you, sir. This is excellent. 

Do you plan on reworking your engine tutorial as well?

TY so much for your excellent tutorial.

Doing cockpits utilizing your methods has become my favorite thing to do in modeling.  I always do the offices first and sometimes never even get to the rest of the build  lolIndifferent

I know I have said this in the past, but it is always a pleasure to see the work you do on your cockpits let alone the overall build.

Thank You for taking the time to create and update this tutorial. I'm sorry but I will be printing it off and creating a PDF so I always have it at hand.

What do you mean by “tape off the boxes”? Perhaps features of the cockpits?

Tape around the boxes as a mask to spray them. I'm referring to the boxes on the side wall of cockpits. I actually used to do that. Now I just carefully brush paint them. Much quicker.
