Matt Walker Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 just a heads up.... Those seats aren't correct for a 14D. You need SJU-17's. Aires make a very nice pair. Cheers, M Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jimz66 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I think you need the NACES seats. I don't know what you bought. Check the seats on the sprue with the chin pod for the D kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Walker Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 (edited) OOPS!!!!! My bad. NACES is right. Aires are the only ones that really depict this seat well, IMO The seats you have a good for an F-14A or B. Sorry about the wrong seat name.

JMan Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 That pit is really starting to look good! Cant wait to see it done! BTW isnt the RIO control stick there supposed to be turned the other way? Looks a litte backwards! Other than that your on your way to making a superb depiction of the most beautiful plane ever built and flown! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

geedubelyer Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Hi Infideon, That cockpit tub turned out very well The detail painting is just right, not too bright but enough to see it under the open canopy. Are you planning to paint the canvas covers on both instrument panel shrouds? That might give you a nice contrast and add some interest to the IP covers...... :) :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
