The cockpit has been assembled. Everything went together pretty easily, including the photo etch pieces provided in the kit.
Here’s the gallery of 40 images of this step.
Lessons learned here:
- Poster tack is helpful for holding small pieces in place.
- The photo etch (PE) pieces are not so distinctive on the slim consoles; plus they get covered up with decals.
- I’m not sure why every build video doesn’t just install the seats — they don’t seem to get in the way.
This step took about 5 hours.
