More little Brassin parts
As a preparation for the cockpit work I prepared some of the needed parts.
Pic 1 This teaser photo shows my finished Camel wicker seat.
Pic 2 This kit Edition provides parts to create the seat from plastic (see the right parts) or photo etched on the left. It is impressive that there are also two different plastic parts provided to support the PE metal plates. But these parts are NOT used!
Pic 3 But there is also a very nice accessory from the Brassin line: a 3D printed seat which I will use, the little black one in the middle. As far as I know, this is Eduard's best-selling accessory, because it also fits other British aircraft from that period.
Pic 4 Here is the crucial part in all its glory.
Pic 5 The support can be removed easily with a sharp scalpel.
Pic 6 White primer is a good base for brighter paint shades.
See teaser picture 1 for the result of painting.
Pic 7 Another additional set I will use are the Vickers MGs. There are other nice ones available, for example from Gaspatch, but the split design here allows an easier paint job. I will explain that later.
Pic 8 Parts cleaned and prepared. For safer mounting I drilled and added brass pins. PE are added too.
Pic 9 After black primer I painted the Vickers with Alclad Steel, followed by a very thin layer Alclad Gun Metal.
Pic 10 Details like wooden handle and leather cushion a painted with a brush.

@_modelowy_start_pl Thank you! Sometimes, instead of making a model, I try to create a scaled-down version of the original. :)

@GunplaForJoy Thank you very much! Yes, it is tiny. I don't know if you know the size of the reference 1 Euro Cent, but the raster in the background on my cutting mat are 1 cm. The structure is already provided by the 3D print, but the paint enhance the visibility.

@Christopher Koch Thank you! This is the reason why this seat was the best selling accessory by EDUARD.

@35th Scale Modeler Wow, thank you very much for such kind and precise words! But big kudos to Eduard for this fantastically structured 3D print!

@Pardubak A warm welcome! Yeah, I have to run as there are only 55 days left according to the official counter.
