Administrators Clunkmeister Posted August 20, 2018 Author Administrators Share Posted August 20, 2018 Not much bench time this weekend after the Honeydew list got handled, but that’s what being a good husband does: be there for the pretty half of this family. After the stuff gets done, I find myself working away on the fuselage, picking the best way to go. I’d like to make some common sense upgrades to Jerry’s original interior, but not too much. I’m looking at the Eduard and Aires interior offerings, and, to be quite honest, there isn’t much gain to be made other than locations of some interior items. Organized confusion here. The pilot seat has me scratching my head. The kit seat seems way overscale, like it was built for my arese, not a 22 year old kid. Kit seat on left, Aires in the middle, aftermarket D seat on right. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understandable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Looks like a two seater sofa to me, Pretty comfy though, could need some pillows . Cheers Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Rob All I can say is that this kit is dead on accurate in profile. It’s stunning how a huge company like Trumpeter could get it so incredibly wrong. Plus, the cockpit interior of this model just blows me away. There’s little I’ll change except add some placards, wiring, and levers and buttons 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamj Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 So you have one of Jerry's kits??? and everything needed to dress it up as well? So jealous . We know you won't "Bork it up " Ernie, LOL.

Ain’t that the truth. Everything he builds seems to come out the other end with a Soviet flavor. That’s what makes him so ‘special’.

Nor did I talk to Ralph on the big white telephone. I much prefer contributing to the delinquency of others. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Ernie Yup, quite a difference in seats and have to agree for those in there twenties, the seat on the right - the Aftermarket D looks the best. Keep 'em comin Peter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
