Update: Starting work on the cockpit. Aside from loads of flash, there is the additional fun element of 'gates' that are so thick it's almost a model in itself, and bits (the control sticks) which have no gates at all, but simply emerge from a sprue. In short, this is going to be a model where a sharp blade is essential! However, on the plus side, the dials are all moulded in, as are the side instruments (in the 'pit tub). The seats look weird (and naturally, no belts), but they may be right. They look like the seats you would see in a modern day rally car though. The only real fly in the ointment is the 'glass' seperating pilot and pupil, which has a scratch down it. OK, so, probably correct (this was a heavily used aircraft by the Vietnamese), but I might try polishing it out.
