I finally have some work to show of my 1/72 Hasegawa F-4B, USMC, VMFA-115 "Silver Eagles". I have the pit done with some beautiful Eduard painted PE. My first ever cockpit detail set and I'm not gonna lie, I'm hooked!! The detail is incredible. The IPs are mostly two part so there's depth in the guages (you can see the white underneath). Just wicked. Also, installed some crisp True Details resin seats. Hase weapons set should arrive this week, I hope.
Here's that epic Eduard set:
That tiny white spot on the right side set against the black is a guage face. I painted a dot of silver, then, glued that black clear piece down first to show the silver through:
You can just see the gauge face on the right side. The left side is installed.
There's about 10 PE pieces stacked up to build up both IPs. No decal can do this!! Really turned out better than I thought:
Resin seats, IP's installed:
Those PE painted ejection handles really pop:
The deep gauges really stand out:
The resin seats are quite 'busy':
Gonna mount the rest of the PE inside the sides of the fuselage halves tomorrow. Thanks for lookin'!!
