Quote from: Old Wombat on April 18, 2025, 03:39:21 AMHow detailed does a cockpit need to be in 1/72?  :unsure:

My thoughts exactly, but I still try and complete them according to the instructions  :banghead:  As said in my Blog the Special Hobby Boomerang has 50 parts on the single sprue of which 23 are for the cockpit  :angel:

And then the canopy doesn't fit well. The old Airfix Boomerang has a better fit.
Whatever.

Revell also did a PZL P-11c  and Fiat CR-42 around the same time.  All were well ahead of their time.  Notice the moulded in holes for rigging wires?  The corrugations on the PZL are beautifully restrained.   As far as the interior goes, you're not going to see much.  Put a pilot in the seat and you won't see anything.
The Leng Plateau is lovely this time of year

Built one some years ago as a 'Bristol Bullet' whif.  Thoroughly enjoyable build and would happily build another.

It's labeled as 'Cockpit green' on the bottle I'm using, I think... no longer in the hobby room to check, I'm presently running an inventory on ther liquor cabinet. But you didn't hear that from me.

Just a bit of pointless knowledge. ;-)

So, a Midori and crème de menth colour scheme?
