A-7d Corsair Cockpit Pics

I've got 3 days of due to the way the Cloumbus Day holiday and my day off fell, so I thought I'd start another model. I opted for the 1/48 Hasagawa A-7D. I found a BB cockpit in it when I opened the box :smiley17: so I decided to put it in. It fit with minimal trimming. Here are some pics of it sitting in place. The seat, stick, coaming and main panel are only "posed" in the 'pit for now.

I've managed to assemble the entire wing and the fuselage in 2 days. The fit is very good overall (excepting the intake/lip area) so the sanding should be kept to a minimum. That's the main task for tomorrow, hopefully ending in the joining of the wings to the fuselage. If I don't like the way the intake sands out, I've got a Koster vac intake cover waiting in the wings! I'm going to do a 'Nam A-7D, and hang a good number of Mk82's under it! I have hopes to 'get er done by the end of the month. Cheers!
