First step at all is quick markings of frets, to make faster search. As standard, some parts need to be trim as well this area will receive some of Eduard etched parts for more detailed look. Rear cockpit plate is the first on to be converted in this way and one important work is to cover hole with filler. After that part is cemented on the rear side of the cockpit hub and few more parts have been placed, such as pilot control stick and control on the left side. Another part need to be converted is the leg controls, they get foot step area in etched and they look much better. Only problem is that this will be deep inside and hardly that we can be able to see it once when kit get completed.
Instrument board need sanding all areas to receive etched boards and only part I place is this front cover, it will be painted in the interior color. Rest of images show assembly of the cockpit and assembly of the central intake section, this one is important as well there will be landing gear later.
