Yeah, I think everyone should have a heat gun in their tool box.... it certainly comes in handy.... that, and a shop vac. You'ld be amazed of the type of "Sensor Dish" that one can form with the bottom of a pop can and these two tools! (you'll need to drill some small holes in the pop can bottom)
I finished roughing in the cockpit, got the window frames cut in and the front frame glued on. I still have to tweak it a bit.... adding some additional plastic reinforcement, some thinning of the frames and filing and sanding, then detail it. All in all, I'm satisfied with it, but it still has a long way to go.
This will more than likely be a delicate addition, I'll build this to have silicone poured over it and cast a resin copy, just for the strength.
Thanks for the kind words and compliments fellas. Here's the last pic of the frame. It's finished now, although I'll need to do a little more prep work before I pour some rubber over this piece. I want to get all my mastered pieces finished prior to pouring before I do any work on the kit.
