0:00 First up we talk about the kit and the build ahead. This will be for a Classic S.I.G. and dates back to 1987. 2:44 We have a quick look at the instructions and point out the kit is a 2 in 1 and is both the USAF A-7D and the US Navy A-7E and what to watch out for. 5:17 We start off with a bit of cleanup, as it's showing it age and has a few bits of flash to remove. Then we remove the ejector pin marks for the intake and glue together. 13:56 Next we paint the cockpit and the side walls with Tamiya XF-54 19:37 Next we use a black POSCA pen to detail the cockpit's side panels and the instrument panel, then use different colors for the switches. 24:36 Next it's in with Bufferble dark iron 214 to dry brush the details and seat. 28:52 last up we finish of the cockpit by adding some simple harnesses to the seat made from thin trips of Tamiya tap and painted grey.
