I am busy with a 1/32 scale AS330j Puma, I would really like to do the instrument panel & cockpit some justice. I really have no clue were to start to come anywhere near what you guys are managing to do. I will post a pic to show you what i have done, where i have added some extras not in the kit & where I am but would really like to do better? Please help
P.S Hosting a pic is crazy just tried it for an hour with no joy!?!

Thanks Keeper! That was a big help! This is the business end!
I made the rear look more like the real thing with some wires & all!
Any advice here would be really appreciated & don't be shy! I am not sensitive!

Looking pretty good. I would add some color by drybrushing with some light gray to bring out all the buttons and dials on the center console.
Good work so far.

Thank you! That worked really well! Made a huge difference!
I added the collective friction the peddle adjustments & then some bits on the center console. Its looking more real now than ever! What do you guys use for seat belts?
