The futuristic jet cockpit really adds some magic and thought I'd share some of the extra details added.

9 Not boxart ... 5 first primer, then the color of the spacesuit ... 3 which was then masked. 3 Favorite silver was next ... 3 followed by more masking. 5 A firewall was made and painted grey ... 2 before a bit more masking ... 5 around the instrument binnacle ... 4 followed by matt black. 7 Only some masking removed prior to shading. 8 Extra buttons and intercom wire added ... 6 completes the tribute to the Avante.

Where did you buy that rear panel, please?

I made it out of thin plasticard. My trick was to make two at the same time; holding them together I’d sand a side and then flip one over so that I had a template to sand the other side to. After a few flips both were identical and symmetrical. (Might not be the clearest of explanations but hope that helps!)
