I skipped the photo etch for the levers on the lower left side of the cockpit, these looked a bit two dimensional for me, and were difficult to manage, so I just kept the plastic levers here and painted them instead. It does not set quickly, it allows for a bit of moving about, and will dry clear and transparent without hurting any paint around it. I personally apply the photo-etch to the surface with Micro Krystal Klear canopy glue. This is a simple way to hold, apply glue, and place the piece of photo-etch I find.

To fit these, I hold the small (sometimes tiny!) pieces of photo-etch using a toothpick with a small amount of blue tack on the end, shaped to a point. Any excess left on the part can be sanded off. I cut this off with a sharp Xacto blade, pressing down onto a piece of smooth, solid plexiglass (don't use your cutting matt). Sand off the raised detail on the plastic, then cut out the photo-etch piece you need to replace it with. My procedure for photo-etch is a simple approach for anyone new to it. Most of the cockpit details you can see in the photo below are detailed with the photo-etch, and it is far more detailed than I could manage with a paintbrush. The Eduard Photo Etch really came out to play now. With the large fuel tank behind the pilot simply completed in black primer, I could consider the first stage of cockpit construction completeĬockpit sidewalls were next, and after a base of black primer, they too got the interior green colour sprayed. The brown leather headrest was painted last with Tamiya XF-64 Red Brown, and finished with Vallejo Satin varnish to try and simulate the sheen of leather. The pilot headrest area was painted black, with the black getting a little more of the scratch-off weathering. Some extra weathering was applied directly over this with Tamiya Black Panel Liner, the seat then assembled, and the photo-etch seatbelts were added, and super glued into place. Just gentle rubbing was required, the acrylic paint would come off quite easily if not careful, and the AS-12 silver underneath is unaffected by the water and toothbrush action. After drying for a day, I returned with an old wet toothbrush and created the scratched paint effect you can see in the photos. I primed with Tamiya AS-12 from the spray can, and then coated all the parts in the Vallejo 71010 Interior Green. This was removed from the sprues and painted before assembly. The next step was to be a very detailed pilot seat. When done that was masked off for the rest of the floor to be painted in black primer, and then Vallejo 71010 Interior Green. Once dry I removed the Marmite with a light rubbing of a cotton bud moist with some water. To create the effect of wear in the next layer of paint to come, I applied Marmite (or you can use Vegemite!) as a mask layer onto the surface, and then applied a coat of Tamiya XF-85 Rubber Black.
