Made some progress on the pit.

Compressed air and other bottles are done.





I didn't like the controls' smooth texture. I wanted something that looked like the grip of a handgun. So I brushed them with liquid cement and pressed mesh into the softened up plastic.



This was followed by black paint, a light gray dry-brush and a rub of graphite powder.



The warning lights were done with food coloring stuff mixed into white glue.

The upholstery's pristine condition was too boring so I roughed it up a little! Aluminum foil is just the thing to make torn upholstery!



Just no elbow room in a Falke's pit!



I scratched an emergency hatch release. The 'Emergency Pull' decal from Airscale was just the thing. And it's been pulled, as you can see. A Falke in trouble, oh my!



The oxygen and g-suit supply hoses were done from guitar strings.



Here's the front office as it stands right now:















Ain't it cosy? lol

You can almost SMELL that it looks so darned realistic!  :o
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Bravo! Looks fantastic! I can almost smell the grease, ozone and sweat in the cockpit,
"Mind that bus." "What bus?" *SPLAT!*

The engine is next on the agenda.

Detailing of the engine is finished. Pheeewww. Thought I'd add a few wires and that'd be that but it turned into be a lengthier process.











The nozzle's damage comes from a hard landing... LOL
