This is a long term project that I started a few months ago.It is a 1/32 scale F-105D. Here is the cockpit so far. taking my time on this.. still got to add the shoulder harnesses and cement the seat into place. Hope it looks the part. I do not expect to be fully completed with this build for about another yea or so, if all goes to plan. Will post periodic updates.. Hope you guys like it.. this is the Aries cockpit

Holy. CRAP. Are you kidding me with that cockpit? I'm being honest here...that's museum quality work there, amigo. Well freaking done.
