Hello all!
Here´s my new project, wich as the original one, has the goal of saving resources.
It`s supposed to be an economical build.
If i feel the need to enhance something, it has to be home fashioned.
Hope you like it!
Here are the first steps!

Nicely done Jose. I love the seat bets. Tin foil you say eh ? Do you glue two or more layers together, or is it a single layer ?

Hello Naseby!
Thanks for the kind words! Normally it´s only one layer, but in the case of the waist straps, it´s doubled.

Hi Jose,
Fantastic second installment! I think any aftermarket replacements for the cockpit and landing gear bay would be hard pressed to surpass what you have scratch-built.
Gorgeous (and inspiring!) so far.

Ed
