Hi Lou, thank you for the kind words, the instrument panel is made of pre painted PE sections - a backing piece with the clocks painted on, then next the frontage with the dials and last a center section, after fitting them I dropped some semi gloss top coat onto the dials, superb craftsmanship. OC.

Excellent work Kevin - loving the idea. OC.

Evening all, hope everyone is ok - keep up your spirits we will get through this, anyway work continues starting with the instrument panel, this is a multi stage thing starting with the frame - this has three sections of PE to be attached to it, when set I painted underneath and around the frame in Green, then I built and painted the compass, this was then glued in place under the frame, I then did a bit of shading with a pancil and finished off by highlighting, next off was to build the gun sight - this is a clear part in two sections, I glued both together then painted around the frame. OC.

Revell Tie fighter - 1:110 by Fnick (Finished)

Are you a clairvoyant Denis? OC. -
No problemo Jack - I think its trial and error as long as you havn't gone too far and made it like water - I would start with 30% and see how that goes. OC.
-
Yep 30% thinner just enough to get a nice flowing liquid some say same consistency as milk, I think All enamels are meant to be diluted somewhat straight from the tin. OC.

What - Me - Us on here 😉 OC. -
You could try 30/70 something like that, I tend to use Acrylics these days and dilute these near 50/50 and try to paint in controled areas or mask an area that falls near to a natural fuselage line / panel line. OC.

Have you got any Enamel thinners Jack? OC.

Must be a Huge hairy stick if he borrowing it from over here Ken.🤪 OC.

Seat assembled - painted and weathered, then the belts from the enclosed pe were cut off and glued into place, then when set I did a couple of coats of brushed on flat coat, then I placed the seat in the tub and routed the rear harness through the rear framework and glued it in place. OC.

Looking very good Edward, hand brushing is not easy (its been my way for many many years). OC.

More work today - next job inside the cockpit was to paint the floor assembly, this was then shaded and dry brushed for highlighting, next was to attach the yoke and stearing columb, this again was painted and weathered then the floor was glued in place. OC.
