I am building this same model. Nice work so far. I was going to point out not to forget part R2 if you intend to leave the canopy open, but you caught it. Great touch with the girlfriend/wife photo on the instrument panel. The cockpit is quite detailed as is the engine, but a lot of that detail is covered up once the fuselage goes together and wings are on. What paint are you going with AS-8 navy blue or something else?
The detail might be there, but it takes an artist to bring it to life! Great work!
Just a comment for the algorithm
Love the seat cushion- real nice bit of extra detail!
Thank you for the kind comment. My favorite part of building are the details.
Would have loved to see you painting them up and talking about the technics you use along the way. But otherwise, great work.
The way I am set up prevents that. Perhaps as I get better gear?
Another great post of an amazing kit, thanks for sharing
Thank you. This kit is another home run by Tamiya!
Please continue this I’m having so much trouble
I will try and get a video out soon.. What issues are you having?
Beautiful work Matt !! 👌
Thank you so very much!

Hey, thanks for the great comment! I am using AS-8.
Am i seeing correctly the seatbelts from that company are 300 dollars?
Where are you seeing this?
Pitty you don't show your build though. As far as the seat goes didn't the parachute offer the padding?
Yup you’re right on the parachute. From photos I’ve seen the cover was more so for protecting the chute.
@@inclusivemodeldesigns16 Evidence?
@@bushranger900 just go look. Some have it some don’t. Its not so much a cushion as it is a cover.
@@inclusivemodeldesigns16 Wow you are right about the cover! Good catch IMD. To me it looks like it’s a pilot preference thing?
