I really enjoyed the Eduard AM for the seats.  The only thing I didn't like was that the belts were colored only on one side.  So flipping them around required a little extra work.  Maybe the Brassen is different? 

[harv]

I havent looked at them yet . I'll post pics later......harv

Happy to report that the Brassen seat set comes with colored belts on BOTH SIDES ! oh happy day !.....harv

Hello Harv..

Just joined the PHABULOUS PHANTOM party...  

you are a Saint for choosing one of MY favorite jets.

you are doing a very SPLENDID  job and it is coming along great.

I know you'll turn this plastic into an amazing Model.... so you have MY support too .

Spent some time on the Phantom today. Took a good look at the pit and found several things I'm not thrilled with. Needs some touch up paint, a couple small PE pieces came of and the front IP came off to. The IP isn't a big deal because I need to re glue a couple things, cleaned up the glue spots so it will fit much better. This part is gonna take some time and I want it to come out right this time.I am hoping to take it to Texas next year Pics latter on.....harv

Is that the Black Box cockpit? I've got one for the E in my stash. 

Either way, it looks good to me. The one in my CT-133, that needs some work. 

[harv]

What are you guys smoking ? I know, our own worst critics, and I appreciate all the kudos, just think it looks like crap. This is supposed to be the before the fix pic lol....harv

If your unhappy Harv, strip it. 

Nothing wrong with starting fresh after a good strip.

Those type of resin pits really pop with a nice black (or dark grey) pre shade and then a cloud pattern of grey. You will be amazed of how little wash you will use with this method.
