Got started on the cockpit really quite quickly then decided to do something new, open panels.
Spent some time do research into what panels i could expose and not over complicate the model with the too much going on thing. The panels i choose are both computer points which are quite easy to replicate in 1/144, just a few small boxes.
Marked what i wanted to be cut out, then spent what felt like hour carefully cutting them out with a scalpel blade.

Used plasticard to the the inside of the panel, all very simple but effective i think, didn't have to build the box as the plastic was so thick. Hoping i can paint the detail in there.

Wow! it so small and you still can paint the details inside the cockpit!
Cheers, still more to do though.
Check out the Japanese modellers, makes mine look like a colouring book attempt.
